You are giving your 6-year-old cousin a ride in a car that has a back seat. What does Nebraska law require for her?

Correct answer: A correctly installed, federally approved child safety seat in the back seat.

Why

In Nebraska, every child younger than eight must ride in a correctly installed child restraint that meets federal safety standards, and must use a back seat when one is equipped and not already taken by other children under eight. From age eight until 18, a child must be secured with a seat belt or child seat in any seating position. Adult belts do not fit small bodies well, which is why the child seat rule lasts until age eight.
