NOTICE
EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 24, 2009: Pursuant to
NYS Law, all children under the age of 8 must
be restrained in an appropriate child restraint
system while riding in a motor vehicle.  

An Appropriate child restraint system is one
that meets the child's size and weight and the

A child restraint system may be a child safety
seat, harness, vest or a booster seat.
