OHIO BOOSTER SEAT LAW
Research shows that children who use booster seats are 59 percent less likely to be injured in a motor vehicle crash than those using seat belts alone. In support of a proposed booster seat law in Ohio, several faculty and staff members from the Center for Injury Research and Policy spoke at an Ohio Statehouse press conference in September 2007 as child passenger safety experts.
OHIO CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY LAWS
To help prevent injuries in motor vehicle crashes, Ohio expanded its Child Passenger Safety Law to require that children be buckled in a car seat or booster seat until they are at least 8 years old or 4'9" tall. The law became effective in October 2009.
Parents and caregivers are require by Ohio law to obey the following safety practices:
-
Infants and young children must ride in a child safety seat until they are 4 years old and weigh at least 40 pounds.
-
Every child ages 4-8 who is no longer in a car seat must use a booster seat until she research 4'9" tall.
-
Children and teens ages 8-15 who are not in booster seats must use adult seat belts.
