Children’s Car Seat Laws

Every state has its own rules and regulations regarding the use of a child’s car seat. In California, all car seats have specific requirements that must be met. If these requirements are ignored or neglected, the child’s parents could receive a ticket, or they could be placing their child in a riskier position.

The following rules apply to car seats in California:

  • Children under the age of 8 (or shorter than 57”) are required to be properly secured in a child restraint system and placed in a rear seat.
  • Children under the age of 2 (less than 40 lbs., or under 40”) must be properly secured in a rear-facing child restraint system.
  • Children in rear-facing car seats are required to be placed in a rear seat if there is an active passenger air bag.
  • Violation of the child passenger safety law is a standard offense.

I am very thankful and appreciative for the wonderful job that The Barnes Firm has done for me with my auto accident. I think I was lucky to have Landon and Ali worked on my case. They were always available for me.

I was in a car accident and contacted, The Barnes Firm. I was transferred to an attorney right away. The attorney was very pleasant and helpful. He answered all my questions. He set up an appointment that same week. The attorney himself, came over to my home. He went over the paperwork and explained the procedure very thoroughly. The attorney’s paralegal contacted me right away. The office has been in touch with me and genuinely concerned about my injuries. This firm was on top of my case. I highly recommend them. Please call The Barnes Firm.

My attorney and his Assistant helped me through my injury case. It was a real pleasure having their legal advice available to me in a time when I couldn’t think straight or even figure out what to do after my accident injury.
