Children must be in a seat until they reach the age requirement or the height requirement, whichever comes first. For example:
Remember: In both of these cases, your child may be safer in a booster seat but it is not required by law.

On July 1st, 2008 Michigan's new booster seat law took effect. The law is a long overdue protection for Michigan's young children who are too small to fit safely in just the cars seat and safety belt and too big for a traditional car seat.
