NWMHC follows the MN Child Passenger Safety Statutes when transporting minor children. NWMHC does not transport children that are not clients of the agency or children under the age of 5:
In Minnesota, all children must be in a child restraint until they are 4 feet 9
inches tall, or at least age 8, whichever comes first.
-
Booster seats are used after outgrowing a forward-facing harnessed restraint
-
Seat belts are used when children can sit with their back against the vehicle seat and have their knees bent comfortably over the edge with their feet touching the floor.
