Children from birth to what age must be in an approved safety seat or booster seat?

The correct answer is: 8

Children from birth to the age of 8 must be secured in an approved safety seat or booster seat according to safety regulations. This guideline is in place to ensure that children are protected in the event of a vehicle crash. The use of a safety seat provides essential support for a child's developing body, as regular seat belts are designed for adults and do not fit properly on smaller, younger individuals. Children should remain in rear-facing seats for as long as possible, typically until they reach the maximum weight or height limit set by the manufacturer of the seat. Transitioning to a forward-facing seat and later to a booster seat occurs as the child grows, but they must continue using appropriate restraints until they surpass the age limit of 8 years. By adhering to these regulations, caregivers significantly decrease the risk of injury during travel.
