Now one month since new child passenger safety laws went into effect in Vermont
Now one month since new child passenger safety laws went into effect in Vermont, police departments are working to educate drivers on the rules. Saturday in Shelburne, multiple agencies gathered for a car seat safety check, where certified technicians helped parents inspect car and booster seats, and provide hands on tutorials for proper installation. Since July 1st, in Vermont, a child under two must be in a rear facing seat with a harness. Officials say despite the changes in the law, it’s important to change your child’s car seat, in phases based on weight and what the seat calls for. If you couldn’t make it to this car seat check, there are other events scheduled throughout the month.
