I suck at searching, so I am just going to post.
According to the DMV handbook this is what the law in OR states about children in cars:
According to this DD1, who is 5 and weighs about 35 lbs, is not allowed to ride in a booster, right? And she will not be allowed until she gains about 6 pounds, which will take her about 2 more years... And what happens when she does weigh 40 lbs - do I have to put her in a booster? And if she were to hit 4’9” before she turns 8 (not likely to happen), do I have to take the booster away?
Is this really what the law says? Or have they interpreted the law when writing this handbook?
Thanks!
According to the DMV handbook this is what the law in OR states about children in cars:
Child passengers under one year of age, regardless of weight, or a child who weighs 20 pounds or less must be properly secured in a child safety
system in a rear-facing position. Child passengers who weigh 40 pounds
or less must be properly secured in a child safety system.
Children weighing more than 40 pounds must ride in a booster seat until
age eight or 4’9” in height. Children over eight years old or taller than
4’9” must use a safety belt system.
