* Child safety and booster seats:

We can address these safety devices in terms of law or, more wisely, in termsof one or another more general and more conservative (i.e. child-conserving) consensus about child safety. Nevertheless please note that IdeaMerge is neither obligatednor qualified to present to clients nor to the general publicthe full set of relative laws nor the letter of those individual laws;the comments below, whether about law or consensus are merely intendedto indicate the nature of the general issue of child motor vehicle safety.In many cases (such as Canada and the United States) the law applies based on thestate, province or territory in which the vehicle is registered or in whicha particular rental commences. In Canada such law is strictest in Quebec andin Ontario. Which is to say, these are the only provincial units in Canadathat require booster seats. The general North American consensus considers boosterseats necessary for children weighing 18–36 kg (40–80 lbs),forward-facing safety seats necessary for children weighing 9–18 kg(20–40 lbs), and rear-facing infant seats necessary for children weighing up to 9 kg (20 lbs). Age-wise these ranges correspond to4.5 years through 7 years, 1 year up to 4.5 years, and 0 years up to 1 year.In Germany however, the high-end figure is extremely conservative, in the sensenoted above.German law puts this figure at up to12 years or up to 1.5 m tall(4 ft. 11 in.); moreover, children under age of 10 may not travel in the frontpassenger seat of a car,the exceptions being: (a) a child younger than 1 year old seated in arear-facing safety seat, (b) a vehicle with no rear seats or seatsthat temporarily cannot be used, and (c) a situation in which all rearseats are already occupied by children under 10 years old.French law puts said high-end figure at up to 10 years.The law in England and the rest of the United Kingdom isas strict as German law regarding said high-end booster-seat figure (12 years or up to 1.5 m tall); but the lower threshold for booster seat useis rendered somewhat lower: 3 years instead of 4.5 years.In Ontario a child need not use a safety seat if (a) his/her weight is over36 kg (40 lbs) or (b) his/her age is over 8 years (i.e. he/she has turned 8 years old) or (c) his/her height is over 1.45 m (4 ft.9 in.).…Generally a rear-facing safety seat should not be used in a seat equipped with a functionalfrontal airbag. Also generally speaking, children under 12 years old should sit in a rear seat.…In the context of the whole IdeaMerge Website it is appropriate to addressa few more specific cases. The state of Washington in the USAis relatively strict: children up to 1 year old or less than 20 lbs must beseated in a rear-facing infant seat; children from 1 year old through 3years old or 20–40 lbs must be seated in a forward-facing child seat;and children from 4 years old through 5 years old or 40–60 lbsmust be seated in a booster seat (in the rear if the front passenger seat is equippedwith an airbag). In the state of Oregon children from 0 through3 years old or less than 40 lbs must be seated in a child seat, and children4 years old through 5 years old or 40–60 lbs must be seated in a boosterseat. In the state of California, children from 0 through 5 yearsold or less than 60 lbs must be seated in an appropriate childseat, perhaps a booster seat. In the state of Nevadachildren from 0 through 3 years old or weighing less than 40 lbs mustbe seated in a child seat. In the state of Colorado, childrenfrom 0 up to 1 year old or weighing less than 20 lbs must be seated in arear-facing child seat; children from 1 year through 3 years old or 20–40 lbsmust be seated in a front-facing child seat; and children from 4 through 5 yearsor less than 55 in. tall must be seated in a booster seat.In the state of New Jersey, a child 0 through 17 months oldmust be seated in a child seat; a child 18 months through 4 years old mustbe seated in a child seat if riding in front; and a child less than 8 yearsold or less than 80 lbs should sit in the rear, if rear seating is available.…In Australia a child from 0 up to 1 year old mustbe seated in a child seat, and this seat must be fitted with a toptether that is in turn attached to a suitable mounting point on thevehicle; other constraints apply per territory,but the general rules noted above should nevertheless be appliedand are typically indicated by vehicle rental vendors.In New Zealand a child from 0 through 4 years old must be seatedin an appropriate safety seat; a child from 5 through 7 years old must if seated infront be seated in a booster seat or, we are told, secured with anadult safety belt (although this latter option seems too lax);and again the general rules noted above should neverthless be appliedand are typically indicated by vehicle rental vendors.
