🔹All occupants younger than 18 must be properly restrained regardless of their location in a vehicle.
🔹Children younger than 8 years of age are required to ride in a child restraint (car seat or booster seat).
🔹A correctly used seat belt may be substituted for children younger than 8 years of age who are at least 4'9" tall.
