Explanation
In Virginia, children under the age of eight must be secured in an approved child safety seat. Child safety seats, when properly installed, significantly reduce the risk of injury or fatality in the event of a collision. The specific age requirement of eight recognizes the vulnerability of younger passengers and ensures they benefit from the added protection offered by these seats.
