  • Infants must be rear-facing in the back seat until at least 1 yr. old and at least 20 lbs.
  • Children over 20 lbs. and 1 yr. of age may then be forward-facing, still in the back seat, in a child safety seat with an internal harness.
  • Once the child weighs at least 40 lbs., the child should ride in a booster seat in the back seat until he/she is 80 lbs. and about 4’10" tall.
