Car Seat Law Change
WNYC Newsroom
NEW YORK, NY March 28, 2005 —Children in New York State ages four, five and six who are being transported in private cars, are now required to sit in approved car booster seats.
Until yesterday, the cut-off age for the mandatory use of child safety seats was four. Booster seats position youngsters higher in cars so that seatbelts work properly.
Prices among five booster seats rated by Consumer Reports in August ranged from $20 to $120.
