Michigan law requires:
- Infants (0–1 year): Must ride in a rear-facing car seat until at least 1 year old and 20 pounds. But pediatricians recommend keeping children rear-facing until age 2 or longer.
- Toddlers (1–4 years): Must use a forward-facing car seat with a harness until reaching the height/weight limits set by the manufacturer.
- Young children (4–8 years): Must use a booster seat until they are 8 years old or 4 feet 9 inches tall, whichever comes later.
- Kids over 8 or 4'9": Can use regular seat belts, but only if they fit properly across the chest and lap—not the neck or stomach.
Your child’s safety depends not just on age, but on size. Don’t guess. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and Michigan law to the letter.
