Louisiana’s New Child Safety Seat Requirements

8/1/2019

 
Louisiana’s new ‘Child Safety Seat Law’ goes into effect today. Here’s some important information to help you understand what it means.
​
  • Children under 2 must ride in rear-facing child safety seats.
  • Children ages 2-4 must ride in a forward-facing seat with an internal harness if they have outgrown a rear-facing seat.
  • Children ages 4-9 must ride in a booster seat secured with a lap/shoulder belt.
  • Children ages 9-12 can ride without a booster seat if their knees bend over the front edge of the seat, their back is against the seat back and the seat belt crosses their chest and not their neck.
  • Any child under the age of 13 must be in a rear seat when available.

If you have questions about these changes, or would like more information, contact your local Sheriff’s Office or Police Department, or call the Public Affairs Division of the Louisiana State Police at (225) 925-6202.
