Explanation
Under Florida law, all passengers under the age of 18 must wear a seat belt. Children under 4 years old must be secured in a safety seat (either rear-facing or front-facing), while children aged 4 and 5 must use either a safety seat or a booster seat. If this law is violated, the driver will be charged with a seat belt or child restraint violation. For safety, children under 13 should always be seated in the backseat, as airbags can cause serious injury or even death to young children in the front seat.
