Children must ride in the BACK SEAT in a properly secured child passenger safety seat
(car seat/booster) until they are AT LEAST 8 years old, unless they are 4’9” tall.
Children who have outgrown a harness car seat need to ride in a booster seat, regardless of their age, until they fit
properly into the seat belt only. Seat belt should fit as follows: lap belt low (touching the thighs), shoulder belt
across middle of chest and shoulder (not under arm or behind back), knees bent comfortably without slouching.
If your child does not pass this “fit test”, they need a booster seat!
