Child restraint seats?
Pursuant to F.S. 316.613, every operator of a motor vehicle, while transporting a child in a motor vehicle operated on the roadways, streets or highways of this state, shall, if the child is 5 years of age or younger, provide for protection of the child by properly using a crash-tested, federally approved child restraint device. For children aged through 3 years, such restraint device must be a separate carrier or a vehicle manufacturer’s integrated child seat. For children aged 4 through 5 years, a separate carrier, an integrated child seat, or a seat belt may be used.
