Pulled over with incorrect installation of car seat!?
Find answers to your legal question.

I was just wondering what will happen if you get pulled over and the 9 month old is in a convertible car seat face forward and not rear? Baby is 18 pounds and 27 inches long. It's my friend and she refuses to put her baby rear facing! Will she get a ticket or will they just show her how to do it?
Additional Details
Her reasoning is that she said that she doesn't like the car seat I told her well regardless you make her sit in it even if she crys and screams but she doesnt get it! I guess she will when she gets in a wreck! Thanks for answers!!

Friendly Stranger..

Your friend will likely get a ticket for this. The laws state that your child must be in the correct car seat which is dependent upon their age, height, and weight. If the child is incorrectly installed or the driver is using the wrong car seat then it will result in a violation of the law which means she will be ticketed for it.

I would BET on the ticket.....It IS a safety issue....no excuse.....

Most likely the cop will just inform her...

but out of curiosity .. what is her reasoning to not face it rear? for her convenience?
