Missouri's Booster Seat Law

A new Missouri booster seat law went into effect on August 28, 2006. The new law says that your child MUST be in a booster seat if they are ages     4-7 years old, unless they are 80 pounds or 4'9" tall.

The fine for violating this law is $50 plus court costs, which far exceeds the cost of many booster seats.
