Here are some of the standard car seat laws in Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rear-Facing Car Seat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newly born children should be secured in a rear-facing car seat until they are at least one year of age and approximately 22 pounds. It is recommended that they stay rear-facing until they reach two years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Forward-Facing Car Seat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children must be at least one year old and 22 pounds before it is safe for them to be placed in a forward-facing car seat. Children should remain in a forward-facing car seat until they are at least 40 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Booster Seat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children must be at least 40 pounds before they can upgrade to a booster seat. Children should continue to use a booster seat until they are either 4 feet and 9 inches tall or they are 9 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Upgrading to a seat belt after the booster seat stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In accordance with the law, children are allowed to use a seat belt once they are either 9 years old or approximately 4 feet and 9 inches in height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the driver\u2019s responsibility to ensure that all passengers under the age of 16 are securely buckled in with their seat belt, car seat or booster seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When purchasing a car seat or booster seat, make sure it has passed all the safety measures. Do not buy a car seat or booster seat second hand. If you have been in a car accident, and you have a car seat or booster seat in your vehicle, you must purchase a new one due to safety reasons. Insurance will cover this cost.
