Possible MA Child Safety Seat Law Exemptions
Well, Massachusetts law requires anyone riding in a private passenger motor vehicle - and that includes vans and trucks under 18,000 pounds - to be contained by some sort of safety protection. This means either a seat belt or a child passenger restraint system, depending on the age or height of the occupant.So, if you're not riding in one of these vehicles (for instance, a school bus or taxi), you could consider that to be an exemption to the child safety seat laws.
Buying Child Car Seats
If you're looking for baby car seats or a car seat for an older child, try doing an online search under those terms. You'll find plenty of possibilities, but be sure you buy only those car seats that meet federal government safety standards. Otherwise, if you're caught with your child riding in an unauthorized child safety seat, you still could receive a ticket and a $25 fine.Additional Information on Child Car Seats
To find more information on matters like safety laws, car seat laws, or child restraint laws, consult the MA vehicle code, the drivers license manual, or the RMV.
