Car crashes are the No. 1 killer of children. Even a low speed crash or sudden stop can seriously injure a young child.
Approved car seats are available in many stores.
New Hampshire has a law requiring car seats or safety belts.
CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY LAW
The New Hampshire Child Passenger Safety law requires that ALL CHILDREN under the age of 18 riding in a motor vehicle must be restrained and properly fastened in a safety belt. However, children under the age of 6 years or 55 inches tall (4'7") must be restrained and properly secured in an approved child passenger safety seat.
Any person who violates the provisions of this law shall be guilty of a violation and is subject to a fine. (100$)
For information about the law or car seats contact your local police department or the toll-free NH Child Passenger Safety Hotline at 1-877-783-0432.
