Governor Scott signs law requiring children up to 5 to use safety seats

Children as old as five will now have to use a car seat when in a vehicle in the state of Florida.

Governor Rick Scott this week signed HB 225 which requires that children up to 5 years old be in a crash-tested, federally approved child restraint device when in a moving vehicle.

That can include a booster seat.

Previous rules only required a safety seat till age three and then the child could use the vehicle’s safety belt.


The new rule will take effect in January.
