How old does my child need to be to not have to ride in a car seat? |

Children under the age of 8 years must be secured in an appropriate child restraint system, more commonly called a child safety seat. Child safety seats include infant seats, convertible seats (rear-facing for infants and forward-facing for toddlers) and booster seats that are used with the vehicle lap and shoulder belt system.
Children and young people ages 8 years to under 16 years must be secured in a properly adjusted safety belt in any position in the vehicle.
The parent or legal guardian is responsible for providing a child restraint system to any person who transports their child.
