Michigan implements stricter car seat laws for children under 8, starting April 2nd.

Michigan's new car seat laws, effective April 2nd, require children under two to be in rear-facing seats, those aged two to five in forward-facing seats, and children five to eight in booster seats until they are 8 years old or 4 feet 9 inches tall. All children under 13 must ride in the backseat if available. Violations may result in tickets. For more details, visit Michigan.Gov.
