Anyone in Draper who transports kids in their car should regularly review the child safety seat regulations. Utah and federal laws are periodically updated. Draper parents who think their six year-old doesn’t need to be in a booster seat may be surprised to learn that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that children stay in a booster seat until their height and weight exceed the manufacturer’s limits.
Complete recommendations can be found at http://www.nhtsa.gov/Safety/CPS
Here are some quick facts for Draper parents:
- Keep infants and toddlers rear-facing as long as possible.
- Upgrade child safety seat when child reaches max height and weight for each particular model.
- Most Utah Wal-Mart, Target, and Babies-R-Us stores carry safety seats for all ages.
- Draper children are ALWAYS safer in the back seat and those under twelve should never ride in the front seat.
