NOTICE TO PARENTS AND PROVIDERS
Maryland's Child Passenger Safety Law was changed effective June 30, 2008. Under this change, every child under 8 years old must ride in an appropriate child restraint unless the child is 4 feet, 9 inches or taller, or weighs more than 65 pounds. Every child from 8 to 16 years old who is not secured in a child restraint must be secured in a vehicle seat belt. If you would like to learn more about this law, or would like information on selecting or using child restraints, please call Maryland Kids in Safety Seats (Maryland KISS) at 410-767-6016 or log on to www.mdkiss.org.
