Although Nevada is the home to “sin city”, it’s also another state that has car seat laws just like the other 49 in the U.S.  Car seat laws are there for a reason, and ultimately, they’re there to protect you and your family during your everyday drives.

When you follow your state’s car seat laws, you are avoiding the potential risks of getting fines, traffic violations, points on you driving record, and you’re even keeping your child as safe as possible.  So, if you don’t know Nevada’s car seat laws already, take a few minutes to review this information.

Nevada Car Seat Laws:

• If your child is 5 years or younger, and/or they weigh less than 60 lbs, they must be restrained in a child car seat.
• If you don’t follow this law, you can face a minimum of a $100 fine, and maybe even community service.

NOTES:

• It’s best to keep your baby rear-facing for as long as possible.  This additional time allows your baby’s neck to strengthen and develop.
• A car seat should always be bought new.  Used car seats could have been in an accident, may be expired, or even worse, they could be recalled.
• Safety belts should be worn regardless of where you’re sitting in the vehicle and/or how old you are.  These are there to protect you, and are always safer than going without one.
