With laws and regulations that are in place when traveling around Arizona, there are more aspects that you ought to consider whenever you’re traveling with kids.

Arizona Laws

As mandated by law, the state of Arizona requires all children under 8 years old and under 4’9” to be properly secured in a child safety seat. These include infant car seats, convertible car seats, and booster seats, which are federally-approved safety devices. In short, if you’re traveling with children, you need to have child car seats in Arizona, even when taking taxis and rideshares.

What Are the Penalties Involved?

For those not following the precautionary measures for children’s car seats, there is a fine of up to $176 for violation of Arizona State Law 28-907. While this fine is troublesome, the worst situation involves the potential harm to childrens’ safety.
