Protection for Child Passengers

 

 

Effective December 1 2001, New Jersey's child passenger safety law requires:

  • Children up to age 8 or 80 pounds must ride in a safety or booster seat in the rear seat of the vehicle. If there is no rear seat, the child must sit in the front seat secured by a safety or booster seat.

  • Children under age 8 who weigh more than 80 pounds must wear a seat belt anywhere in the vehicle.

  • Passengers age 8 to 18 (regardless of weight ) must wear a seat belt anywhere inside a vehicle.
