Connecticut's Laws Has Changed
To Make Kids Safer!
After October 1, 2005 children must
ride in a proper child restraint until they are over 6 years of age
AND 60 pounds!
(Both the age and weight requirements must be
met) After children outgrow their car seat, they must ride in a
booster seat using a lap and shoulder belt.
Violators will be fined and required to attend a car seat education
class. The law also now
requires that infants remain rear-facing until they are 1 year of age
AND 20 pounds!
