An Act relative to child passenger safety

This bill requires children under the age of 13 to sit in the back seat of a car rather than the front passenger seat. The rule applies to all drivers and passengers in Massachusetts, with two specific exceptions: it does not apply if the vehicle has no rear seats or if the back seat is already full of other children under 13. By updating state law, the measure aims to improve child safety by ensuring younger passengers are positioned away from potential front-seat airbag impacts.
