Is it ok for kids buckled in the back seats of cars to recline their seats back?
Find answers to your legal question.





Is it ok for kids buckled in the back seats of cars to recline their seats back?

We are travelling in the car for a long trip, 1,000+ miles. The kids want to know if they can lean their seats back at night when they are sleeping. We have a 2007 Mazda MPV mini van. Seat belts will always be on regardless. They will be seated in the back/middle of the car.

Regardless if it's children or adults, having the seat in any other position than in a regular seated position can increase the chance of injuries to the person in the event of an accident.

Although it isn't illegal in most areas, it can be unsafe- so it's going to be your decision if you will allow the kids to be comfortable when they want to go to sleep or be uncomfortable, but a bit more safer.

Nope..........because in this position the children will not be protected if an accident were to occur......
