In Minnesota, the new booster seat law takes effect on July 1, 2009

In Minnesota, a new booster seat law takes effect on July 1, 2009. Children less than eight years old or shorter than 4’ 9” tall will require a booster seat or safety seat. Children in this age group must not be restrained in a seat belt alone while traveling in an automobile.  Booster seats and safety seats position a child higher in the car seat and place the child in the correct position in relationship to the seatbelt.  

If a parent fails to comply with the new booster seat law, the ticket may cost more than $100 dollars. This new law is part of the primary seat belt law that went in effect on June 9, 2009. Drivers may be stopped and ticketed if officers see children improperly restrained.
