Description: Stricter rules in Michigan involving how young children are seated – and where they sit – in a passenger vehicle take effect April 2. The Michigan legislature approved the law last year, aligning state law with federal recommendations. A noticeable change involves where children aged 8 to 11 can sit, as they will now need to sit in the rear seating area rather than in a front passenger seat.
