Hi,
Where can I find legal information, the laws (in writing) that state car seat rules and regulations either just in US general laws or by state? I am getting great advice on this website, but I'd like some type of hard copy to look at. If possible, point me to a website, instead of the library. with 3 small kids, a library day is not always a fun day.
Thanks

www.inventiveparent.com has the full text of all the state laws. They are interesting to read and know, but certainly not safe, by any means (well, maybe Wyoming with it's 8 AND 80 law)...most were politically expedient compromises that have nothing to do with how well a child fits in an adult seatbelt (when they use the term "restraint" they can mean either harnessed or booster seats)

There's http://www.inventiveparent.com/state-laws.htm, which Julie already mentioned ... but, they didn't update the NYS law when I emailed a couple months ago - I've just sent another email with the link to our state legislative website, asking them to please update their map! So, what you can also do is run Google searches for the states in question & search their legislative websites {I believe most, but not all states offer this}

Your state's legislative website should let you view the entire state code, including child restraint laws, as well.
