A new state law requires all children under 6 or 60 pounds to ride in an approved child safety seat. Children who have outgrown their car seats should ride in a booster seat, which allows the adult-sized seat belt to properly protect them. The Auto Club helped enact the new law because car crashes are the No. 1 killer of children, and adult-size seat belts don't protect small children from injury. Booster seats cost about $20, but the fine for not placing a child in a seat can cost first-time offenders $270.
