Child
Booster Seats and Child Restraints
Beginning September 2005:
Children
under the age of eight years, who weigh between 40 and 80 pounds (18 to
36 kgs) and having a standing height of less than 4'9"(145 cm) will
be required to be properly secured in an appropriate booster seat while
riding in a vehicle.
Child restraints and booster seats for infants, toddlers and booster age
children must be used by baby sitters and grandparents as well as primary
caregivers. Some exemptions still apply for taxi cabs, transit buses and
school buses, as well as out of province plated vehicles.
The penalty is three demerit points for not complying with the law.
