New Car Seat Laws

Monday, October 11, 2010 -

As of August 1, 2010, Colorado's Child Passenger Safety Law requires ALL children ages 4 - 7 to ride in a booster seat unless they are small enough to remain in a front-facing car seat (usually less than 40 lbs) or large enough to exceed the upper height or weight limits of booster seats (usually over 4'9" and 80 lbs).
