Each year, motor vehicle accidents injure and kill thousands of people across the state of New Jersey. Recently, it seems that there is a lack of public knowledge about child restraint systems, i.e., Child Car Seats and Booster Seats. Every parent or caregiver must be aware of their respective responsibilities for safely and legally transporting a child.
Under New Jersey State Law, all children under the age of 8 years old, and weighing less than 80 pounds, must be in a child restraint system when riding in a passenger vehicle at all times.
Being part of the solution begins with the motoring public! Join law enforcement across the state of New Jersey by ensuring that you and your loved ones are complying with New Jersey's Child Restraint Law. (picture is NOT intended for instructional purposes)
Moreover, the Hillsdale Police Department's Traffic Bureau is dedicated to ensuring child car seats are properly installed. Visit Car Seat Inspections to learn about the program available to residents of Hillsdale, and have a certified traffic officer check your child's seat for safety.
