Highway safety-child restraints.
Wyoming's HB 124 requires all children under two years old to ride in rear-facing child safety seats in vehicles. It clarifies that rear-facing seats must not be placed in front of active airbags and reinforces that children under nine must use restraints in the back seat (with limited exceptions). The law directly affects parents and caregivers of young children traveling in Wyoming vehicles. It became effective July 1, 2022.
