Child Safety Seat Installations and Checks

Child Safety Seat Instillations and Checks

Did you know that 75-90% of car seats aren’t installed properly?

Ohio’s child passenger safety law requires the following:

• Children less than 4 years old or 40 pounds must use a child safety seat meeting federal motor vehicle safety standards.
• Children less than 8 years old, unless they are at least 4 feet, 9 inches tall must use a booster seat.
• Children ages 8-15 must use a child safety seat or safety belt.
