On Sunday, Colorado's child passenger restraint laws will change and, going forward, all children between 4 and 8 years old must travel in the back seat of the vehicle and be in a booster seat.For information on why the law changed, click here for an informative link from KUSA/Channel 9 in Denver.
For a full detailing of what the law requires of drivers, visit the Colorado Child Passenger Safety (CCPS) website at http://apps.coloradodot.info/carseats/
The CCPS website also includes a list of fitting stations for drivers who want to be sure they are buckling their kids in correctly. For the first year, drivers who are pulled over by the police and who are not in compliance with the child safety law will be given a warning and education only.
Please keep these rules in mind if you plan to include your student's children in a field trip!
