According to CDC estimates, seat belt use and bucking children into age and size-appropriate car seats and booster seats can reduce the risk of severe injury and fatality by at least half. The Nevada State Legislature has enacted car seat laws to enhance the safety of child passengers.
For instance, any child under 6 years and 57 inches must ride in an approved child-restraint system. More importantly, children under 2 years must sit in a rear-facing safety seat at the back of a vehicle.
The term child-restraint system consists of booster seats, seat belts (safety belts), and car seats.
Unfortunately, even with the proper booster seat, your child can still suffer injuries in a crash. If this happens, consult with an experienced Reno car accident attorney about your rights to compensation today..
The National Highway Transport and Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that children remain in rear-facing seats for as long as possible. Once a child outgrows a rear-facing seat manufacturer’s weight and height limits, the parents can switch them to front-facing seats.
Nevada’s child seat laws require all children younger than 6 or less than 60 pounds to be buckled into car or booster seats.

Even if you are in full compliance with booster seat laws, another negligent driver can injure your child, and they should be liable.
