Car Seats

[Trina]

Have a Nissan Ultima or similar booked from Alamo for our arrival next week. Could someone please advise on the correct type of car seat needed for a 5 year old please?

Thank you
Trina

Trina, I just looked this up on the Florda Safety Laws website.

Florida Child Car Seat Laws

It is the responsibility of the supervising adult to ensure that any child under 5 years old is seated in a federally-approved child car seat. Failure to do so could result in a $60 fine and 3 points against your driver's license.
The new January 2015January 2015 Florida law states:
Children 5 years old or younger must be secured in a federally approved child restraint system.
Children 3 years old and younger must use a separate car-seat or the vehicle's built-in child seat.
Children 4 through 5 years must sit in either a separate car seat, a built in child seat or a seat belt, depending on the child's height and weight.
Children 6 through 17 years old must be in a seatbelt.
Never put your child in a child car seat in the front of a vehicle with a passenger air bag. It is always safest for your child to ride in the back seat.
For more information on Florida seatbelt and child restraint laws please visit the Florida Highway Patrol website.
