Under Wisconsin Statute 347.48(4) passed June 1st, 2006,
* Children must be in a car seat until they reach age 4 and in a booster seat until they reach age 8
* Tiered structure now applies:
> 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 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 to 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
* The exemption allowing temporary removal of a child from a restraint to attend to personal needs has been removed
* The exemption for physical, medical, or body size condition still applies to booster seats and seat belts
