Wisconsin’s New Child Booster Seat Law
By: WisDOT/DSP, Bureau of Transportation Safety, BOTS
Background Scope:
• A total of 3,082 child restraint citations were posted to driving records
in 2005
• In the past five years, 53 kids, ages 0-8 were killed in Wisconsin from
M/V crashes
• Another 8,207 were injured over that same period
• Of those killed, 30% were unbelted and 59% were either unbelted, or protected
only by a seat belt
General Provisions:
• The law goes into effect on June 1st, 2006
• The 6-month written warning grace period for any child passenger violations
under 347.48(4) will last until the end of the sixth month (December, 2006)
• Citations may be issued starting in January of 2007
• Warnings issued during the grace period shall be sent to DMV
• Second and subsequent violations during the grace period are citable
Core Provisions:
• In basic terms, kids must be in a car seat until they reach age 4 (not
new)
• And in a booster seat until they reach age 8 (new)
• Tiered Structure (all new):
-less than 1 year old, or less than 20 lbs. must be in a rear-facing child
seat in the back seat (if so equipped)
-age 1+ up to age 4, or less than 40 lbs. must be in a forward-facing child
seat in the back seat (if so equipped)
-age 4 until they reach age 8, between 40-80 lbs. and no more than 4 ft
9 ins. must be in a booster seat
• The fines remain the same, although tiered for ages 0-4 and ages 4-8
Exemptions:
• The exemption allowing temporary removal of a child from a restraint
to attend to personal needs has been removed
• The exemption for drivers who 'reasonably believe their passengers are
restrained' under 347.48(2m)(c) has been removed
•
The exemption for physical, medical, or body size condition still applies
to booster seats & seat belts
• UW Children's Hospital reports the average height for an 8-year old is
4 feet 1 inch tall and on average, 45 lbs., so some latitude is built in
Change to State’s Mandatory Seat Belt Law:
•
This act removed the "not more than 15-years old" provision of
347.48(2m)(c) now compelling any driver in violation for all unbelted passengers
in their vehicle, regardless of age
• Under this provision, drivers may be cited for permitting unbelted passengers
of any age in their vehicle
• Outreach about this provision should be emphasized especially toward
teen drivers
Questions:
• Questions about booster seats can be addressed @ www.BoosterSeat.gov
• Or, specific questions about child seats/booster seats can be most expeditiously
handled by WINS (Wisconsin Information Network for Safety) at their toll-free
