Car seat laws change frequently — several states updated theirs in 2024-2026. Always confirm the current law with your state’s official source before travel.

For safety: read and follow the car seat manufacturer’s instructions and height/weight limits, which may be stricter than the law. When in doubt, consult a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician.
