New car seat laws

NEGAUNEE, TWP, Mich. (WZMQ) – Michigan has updated its child passenger safety laws. The new laws took effect April 2nd, and further define how children should be kept safe in the car. The new law requires children under the age of two to be restrained in a rear-facing car seat. Michigan State Police Trooper Tom Kinnunen explains.

“Children up to two years old will be in a rear-facing car seat, unless maxed out by the height and weight restrictions of the car seat,” said Kinnunen.

The new law makes further distinctions for kids in other age groups.

“No older than five, children need to be in a forward-facing car seat with the harness,” said Kinnunen.

And for older children?

“As for the booster seat, there are no changes, and that is age eight. Children will be in a booster up until the age of eight and or four feet nine inches tall,” said Kinnunen.

Also, remember that all children under the age of 13 must wear their seat belts and ride in the back seat. Trooper Kinnunen says proper installation of car seats is essential for the safety of your child. If you are unsure about your car seat installation or have questions about these new laws, you can call your closest state police post.

“If there are any questions about any Car seats, I am a car seat safety technician. There are several of us in the county, and in the UP from Negaunee post, if they have any questions, comments, or concerns.
