Ohio State Law requires

Children under 4 years of age and under 40 pounds to be in a child safety seat.

Children 4-7 years of age and over 40 pounds and under 4’ 9” be in a booster seat.

Age	Type of Seat	General Guideline
Infants	Infant seats and rear-facing convertible seats	All infants should always ride rear-facing until they are at least 1 year of age and weigh at least 20 pounds.
Toddlers/ Preschoolers	Convertible seats	It is best to ride rear-facing as long as possible. Children 1 year of age and at least 20 pounds can ride forward-facing.
School-aged children	Booster seats	Booster seats are for older children who have outgrown their forward-facing car safety seats. (Over 40 pounds, less than 8 years old and less than 4' 9" tall) Children should stay in a booster seat until adult belts fit correctly (usually when a child reaches about 4' 9" in height and is between 8 and 12 years of age).
Older children	Seat belts	Children who have outgrown their booster seats should ride in a lap and shoulder belt in the back seat until 13 years of age.
