Minnesota introduces new state car seat law on August 1, classifying child seating requirements by age, height, and weight.
Minnesota has introduced a new state car seat law, effective August 1, which classifies child seating requirements by age, height, and weight. Based on recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the law prevents young passengers from moving to less restrictive seats prematurely. It also mandates that children under 13 sit in the back seat if possible. Olmsted County Public Health Services is hosting an event on August 15 to help residents understand and comply with the new law, with child passenger safety technicians available to assist with car seat installation.
