Enhances child passenger safety by setting stricter age and restraint requirements for children in motor vehicles.

The bill amends Massachusetts law to enhance child passenger safety by specifying that children younger than two years must be restrained in a rear-facing child passenger restraint system with an internal harness until they reach the manufacturer’s height or weight limit. Children at least two years old must be restrained in either a rear-facing or forward-facing child passenger restraint system with an internal harness until they reach the height or weight limit of the restraint system.
