In Arkansas, a ticket for not restraining your child in an appropriate car seat can cost up to $100. In addition, if you are cited and found guilty of this offense, it will also go on your driving record which could result in higher insurance rates. Furthermore, Arkansas law requires that any child under 6 years old must be restrained in a federally approved car seat or booster seat while riding in a vehicle. It is important to know these laws and follow them as the safety of children should always come first.
