The CHP reminds drivers to protect child passengers by placing them in age-appropriate child safety seats. Whether it is a harnessed safety seat or a booster, the law requires children under 8 be secured in the backseat. Infants and children under 2 should remain rear facing in their car seat.
To have a child safety seat technician properly install or check your child safety seat, please visit https://www.chp.ca.gov/find-an-office and schedule an appointment at your local CHP Area office.
