Leyes de Asientos de Auto para Niños en Rhode Island: Requisitos y Directrices

Actualizaciones

Corrected the booster-to-seat-belt graduation rule from a conjunctive to the statute's actual disjunctive height-OR-weight threshold (80 lbs. or 4'9", not both), and rescoped the pre-1966-vehicle and physician's-note exemptions to the general seat-belt rules they actually apply to (ages 8+/drivers) rather than the under-8 child-restraint-system requirement.

Corrected the front-seat eligibility section, which had wrongly tied front-seat use to reaching 80 lbs. or 4'9" tall before age 8. Under R.I. Gen. Laws 31-22-22(a)(1), every child under 8 must ride in a rear seating position regardless of size; reaching those size thresholds only changes which restraint type they use, and front-seat riding under 8 is allowed only when there is no back seat or all rear positions are occupied by other children.
