Arizona’s child seat belt laws have been revised and will take effect on August 2. Families with children please pay attention.

Current Alberta law stipulates that children aged five and under must use a child car seat or booster seat (car seat or booster seat) when riding in a car, and must wear a seat belt afterwards. In recent years, as the rate of child injuries and deaths in car accidents has remained high, Arizona has revised its child seat belt laws to bring them in line with most states across the country.

The revised legislation raises the age for children to use car seats or booster seats to eight years old. According to the Maricopa County Health Department, 45 percent of children ages four to eight injured in car crashes were not using car seats or booster seats. With booster seats, children's safety belts are worn around their hips instead of around their waists, which traffic safety officials say can reduce injuries to children's organs or spine in crashes.

Violators of this traffic law will be fined $50. Families with children under eight are asked to prepare booster seats as soon as possible. Booster seats retail in stores for about $20.
