Question

Can you have a child seat / unders 3 years of age in a van?

Answer 1

yeah regular car seats for children under 3

Answer 2

Yes. Each state in the U.S. has laws regarding car seat use for infants and toddlers.Though many states only require car seat use up to age 4, child safety experts now recommend car seat or booster seat use until 80 pounds for optimal crash protection.

Answer 3

All children of the age of 3 are required by law to be in a car seat when travelling in any car or van

Answer 4

Yes, i believe so,  as long as the air bag is turned off. You might be as well ringing your local police station up to double check.

Answer 5

What?  Are you asking if they can be without a childseat or with one??

Children are required by law to be in a carseat or booster seat until the age of 5.  

My 3 year old uses a turbo booster that buckles her in with a regular seat buckle.  They are great, smaller than a bulky carseat, light, and easy to transfer from car to car.

Answer 6

It is ILLEGAL to have any child (with or without a booster cushion/seat) under the age of 13 YEARS to be sat in the front of any vehicle.

Answer 7

It differs from state to state, you need to call your local department of motor vehicles and ask them.

Here is a standard guideline for children.

1. BEFORE YOUR FIRST BIRTHDAY LESS THAN 20 POUNDS REAR-FACING INFANT-ONLY CAR SEAT OR CONVERTIBLE SEAT USED IN REAR-FACING POSITION, SECURED IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR.

2. 20–35 POUNDS CONVERTIBLE SEAT USED IN REAR-FACING POSITION, SECURED IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR. LOOK FOR A CHILD SAFETY SEAT THAT IS RECOMMENDED FOR HEAVIER INFANTS.

3. WHEN YOU ARE 1, 2, 3, AND 4 20–40 POUNDS FACE FORWARD IN A CONVERTIBLE SEAT OR A FORWARD-FACING-ONLY SEAT OR HIGH-BACK BOOSTER/HARNESS IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR.

4. WHEN YOU ARE 4, 5, 6, 7, OR 8 LESS THAN 4’9” (57 INCHES) TALL BELT-POSITIONING BOOSTER SEAT (NO BACK) OR HIGH-BACK BELT-POSITIONING BOOSTER SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR.

5. WHEN YOU ARE 8, 9, 10, 11, OR 12 MORE THAN 4’9” (57 INCHES) TALL MAY USE AN ADULT SEATBELT, BUT MUST KEEP YOUR BACK AGAINST THE SEAT BACK, YOUR KNEES BENT OVER THE EDGE OF THE SEAT, AND YOUR FEET FLAT ON THE FLOOR IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR.

6. WHEN YOU ARE MORE THAN 12 YEARS OLD MORE THAN 4’9” (57 INCHES) TALL MAY SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE CAR WITH AN ADULT SEATBELT.
