AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance child passenger safety in motor vehicles. It would amend existing law to require that child passenger restraints be approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 213 and be properly fastened and secured according to the manufacturer's instructions. Additionally, the bill mandates that all infants and toddlers under the age of 2 years or weighing less than 30 lbs. be restrained in a rear-facing car seat, while children 2 years or older, or who have outgrown their rear-facing car seat, should use a forward-facing car seat with a harness up to the maximum height and weight allowed by the child restraint manufacturer.
