Child Car Seat Laws in Louisiana Child safety seats are required in every state, and there is an important reason why. The Louisiana Highway Safety Commission believes child safety seats provide infants and young children the absolute best protection in the car. If your child fits within more than one category due to age or weight, please place him or her in the more protective option. Birth - 1 year old and less than 20 lbs.: Rear-facing infant or convertible seat. 1 up to 4 years old and from 20 to 40 lbs: Must ride forward facing in a convertible or combination seat with an internal harness as required by Louisiana law. 4 up to 6 years old and from 40 to 60 lbs.: Must ride in a belt-positioning booster seat (backless or high-backed). At least 6 years old and more than 60 lbs.: Lap-shoulder belt or belt-positioning booster seat. (It is also recommended that the child be at least 4 ft 9 inches tall). Per guidelines set up by the NHTSA, the LA DHS recommends keeping your child in the back seat through the age of 12 years old at least. If you're convicted of a child safety seat offense, you have the possibility of being ticketed and fined, with your fine amounts increasing for subsequent violations. You can also learn more about best practices in child safety seat usage from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Child Restraint Affidavit in Louisiana Drivers that have been convicted of breaking a child safety seat law must provide the state with a Child Restraint Affidavit proving that they have acquired an appropriate child safety seat. The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections (DPS) sends a notification informing you of an allowance of 30 days to purchase a car seat and submit the affidavit. You will submit the form to the address contained on the notice you receive from the DPS. If the period of 30 days passes and no affidavit has been provided, the DPS will suspend your driver's license until you provide a notarized affidavit showing you obtained an appropriate child restraint system. Child Seat Installation & Inspection Station Assistance Installing a child safety seat can be difficult. Reading your specific car seat manufacturer's guide on how to install the car seat is a good first step. You may also: Browse the complete list of Louisiana Child Passenger Fitting Stations on the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission website. Find out where to get hands-on assistance from a child passenger safety technician or locate a car seat check via the NHTSA Child Car Seat Inspection Station Locator.

SAFETY ALERT: The Zachary Police Department would like to bring it to the publics attention that there is no "Turning Lane" from Hwy 19 southbound to make a left turn onto E. Mae Street (next to the carwash/back entrance to McDonalds). This lane is the designated turning lane to turn left onto LA 64 from LA 19 (northbound). If you are using this as a turning lane to make a left turn onto E. Mae, you are at risk of being cited. You will also be at fault should an accident occur. Note: Observe the double yellow line going up to E. Mae, then look beyond E. Mae at how the line is solid on the outside and dashed on the inside (on both sides of the road). This is nothing new, it has just been over looked by drivers for years.
