Illinois Car Seat Laws
Illinois requires that children under the age of 8 be secured in an appropriate child safety seat, whether that is a car seat or booster seat.
Children under age 8 but weighing more than 40 pounds may ride in the back seat with a lap belt only if there are not lap/shoulder belts available in the vehicle to be used with a booster seat.
Illinois law also requires children ages 8 to 16 be buckled in a seat belt or appropriate child car seat. Children under age 18 are required to wear a seat belt when riding in a vehicle driven by anyone under age 18.
