Rear-Facing Until 2 Years Old in California Starting 2017 →
All in the name of safety. Still don't know why it doesn't go into effect for another 15 months when January 2016 could have easily been the target date.
The bill, signed Monday, was backed by doctors and traffic safety experts. It will extend the mandated use of rear-facing seats from the current 1-year requirement when it takes effect at the start of 2017. Children taller than 40 inches or weighing more than 40 pounds will be exempt.
My wife and I, including our little Norah, favor the Diono variety. As expensive as they are, capitlize on the Amazon sale or the Toy 'R Us trade in program which is happening now!
