Washington State’s new child passenger safety law closely follows the best practices recommended by safety experts. Here are some of those best practices (emphasis added):
- Restraints must be installed correctly (according to car seat and vehicle instructions)
- Kids up to their eighth birthday, unless they are four feet, nine inches tall (57 inches), must ride in appropriate child restraints
- Booster seats for kids from age four to their eighth birthday, unless they are four feet, nine inches tall
- When children use the seat belt they must wear it correctly or continue to use a child restraint or booster seat
- Kids ride in the back seat up to age 13 (where practical to do so)
- Putting the shoulder belt under the arm or behind the back is illegal
