Buckle up Kids in the back seat, too

February 14, 2002 By admin

The Iowa “Safe Kids” coalition is lobbying for an updated law that’d force all kids in the backseat to wear a seat belt. The coalition’s Kathie Leggett says Iowa’s 15-year-old child restraint law needs to be updated. Current law says kids must ride in a child safety seat until they’re 6. Leggett wants a new law that’d require a booster seat for six, seven and eight year olds. Leggett says seat belts are designed for people who are at least 4-feet 8-inches tall. The “Safe Kids” group also wants the law to force kids between the ages of eight and 16 who’re in the back seat to wear a seatbelt, as current law only requires belt-wearing in the front. Leggett’s group lobbied at the statehouse.
