!�Itls The Law:
Hawaii's Child Passenger Safety Law requires children under
the age of four to ride in a child safety seat and children ages
four through seven to ride in a child safety seat or booster seat
when traveling in a motor vehicle.
Birth through 12 months
Children should ride in a rear-facing car seat, either an
infant-only seat or a convertible seat. Convertible seats tend
to have higher weight and height limits for the rear-facing
position and national studies show that it's safer for children
to remain in the rear-facing position until two years of age.
1 through 3 years of age
A child should remain in the rear-facing position until
he reaches the top height or weight limit by your car seat's
manufacturer. Once your child outgrows his seat, he is ready
to travel in a forward-facing seat with a harness.
4, through 7 years of age
Keep your child in a forward- facing car seat with a harness
until he reaches the top height or weight limit allowed by
your car seat's manufacturer. Once he outgrows this seat, he
is ready for a booster seat in the back seat of the car.
If you see a child who is not secured in a car seat
or by a seat belt, call the Hawaii Police Department
