Believe me ive been looking but all it tells me everytime is it has to be according to the moter vehicle safety whatever and so on, im trying to figure out what carseats my son can be in bc our car isnt very big so until we get a new one i have to figure out how to have more room with both the carseats in case i have to put a third one it 

JustMandy --- 14 years ago -

Pureawesoness --- 14 years ago -

Pureawesoness --- 14 years ago -

JustMandy --- 14 years ago -

here is the regulations 

JustMandy --- 14 years ago -

What are Kentucky's Child Seat Laws?

•Any child under 40 inches tall must be in a child and/or infant seat.
•Any child, who is under seven years of age and is between 40 and 50 inches tall, must be in a booster seat.
•All children over seven years of age and over 50 inches tall must be secured in a seat belt.

The following changes have been made to the Child Passenger Restraint Law effective July 1st, 2004.

For more information on Tennessee's Child Restraint Laws, visit the Click it or Ticket website, or refer to T.C.A. 55-9-602

•Children under one (1) year of age, or any child, weighing twenty (20) pounds or less, must be secured in a child passenger restraint system in a rear facing position, meeting federal motor vehicle safety standards, in a rear seat, if available, or according to the child safety restraint system or vehicle manufacturer's instructions. (Note: If the child safety seat has a higher rear-facing weight rating, usually 30 or 35 pounds, it may be continued to be used in a rear-facing position so long as the child's weight permits. Check the manufacturers instructions accompanying the child safety seat for more information.)
•Children age one (1) through age three (3), and weighing more than twenty (20) pounds, must be secured in a child safety seat in a forward facing position in the rear seat, if available, or according to the child safety restraint system or vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
•Children age four (4) through age eight (8), and measuring less than four feet nine inches (4'9") in height, must be secured in a belt-positioning booster seat system, meeting federal motor vehicle safety standards in the rear seat, if available, or according to the child safety restraint system or vehicle manufacturer's instructions. (Note: If the child is not between age four (4) and age eight (8), but is less than four feet nine inches (4'9") in height, he/she must still use a seat belt system meeting federal motor vehicle safety standards.)
•Children age nine (9) through age twelve (12), or any child through twelve (12) years of age, measuring four feet nine inches (4'9") or more in height, must be secured in a seat belt system. It is recommended that any such child be placed in the rear seat, if available. (Note: If the child is not between age nine (9) and age twelve (12), but is four feet nine inches (4'9") or more in height, he/she must still use a seat belt system meeting federal motor vehicle safety standards.)
•Children age thirteen (13) through age fifteen (15) must be secured by using a passenger restraint system, including safety belts, meeting federal motor vehicle safety standards.
•Provision is made for the transportation of children in medically prescribed modified child restraints. A copy of Doctor's prescription is to be carried in the vehicle utilizing the modified child restraint at all times.
•The driver of the car is responsible for making sure that children under age sixteen (16) are properly restrained and may be charged and fined $50.00 for violation of the law. If the child's parent or legal guardian is present in the car but not driving, the parent or legal guardian is responsible for making sure that the child is properly transported and may be fined for non-compliance.
•Police officers observing violations of this law are permitted to stop drivers and take enforcement action. PLEASE PROPERLY RESTRAIN CHILDREN

yeah but the tn ones say that any child under 4 needs a carseat and from 4 to 12 a booster. its confusing with all the laws, so who do i listen to ky or tn ? 

JustMandy --- 14 years ago -

eli is a few months shy of being 4. but he is a big boy. :) 

JustMandy --- 14 years ago -

so who do i listen to ky or tn

where do you live? ky or tn 

Georgia Girl (Mod) --- 14 years ago -

omg.. i still have to sit in a booster seat according to the law for TN LOL 

Pureawesoness --- 14 years ago -

Tn lol 

JustMandy --- 14 years ago -

you are not a child 

Georgia Girl (Mod) --- 14 years ago -

I was being silly. I am just under 58 inches. LOL 

*Vanessa* (Mod) --- 14 years ago -

yeppers...I just re learned all of that in traffic school. And in order to sit in the front seat they have to be at least 12 yrs of age or 100 lbs. And if you drive a truck, the air bags MUST be turned off for the passenger.

Word to the wise if you get a ticket and opt for traffic school its not that bad. $50 and its not on your record. BUUUT I was the last class to go through and it only be an hour long, they just changed it to 4 hours. 

virgin --- 14 years ago -

watcha mean they gotta sit in a carseat. aint none my snotflingers wear no carseat. 

mommytothree --- 14 years ago -

look at the "sunshine kids radian" carseats. they are very narrow. you should have no problem fitting one of them, a booster for your daughter, and a infant seat for the new baby across. i use to have one, wish i still did. i will be getting another one when our baby is too big for his infant seat.

the booster seat requirements for tn are 3 yrs and 30 lbs i think by the way. :) 

Pureawesoness --- 14 years ago -

mommy i was looking at those earlier ! lol im thinking about getting 2 since they are booster also it would be great ! 

**Mama J** --- 14 years ago -

look at the "sunshine kids radian" carseats

Those are great carseats. Austin and Evan are in 5 point harnesses they are 2 and 3 1/2 yo. They both have this seat: here

My girls are almost 7 and 8 and have the backless boosters.

Something keeps jumping out of the text of the regulation about booster seats.

"Children age four (4) through age eight (8), and measuring less than four feet nine inches (4'9") in height, must be secured in a belt-positioning booster seat system, meeting federal motor vehicle safety standards in the rear seat, if available,"


If its not in the car, its not available..right? 

Zeebragirl --- 13 years ago -

I think it means if there is a rear seat. 

muffcabbage --- 13 years ago -

my snots have britax, cept the oldest, shes got a disney booster seat.
