NJ laws for children in trucks

Junk · 02-08-07, 08:56 PM

So anyone up on the law regarding kids riding in trucks? Specifically am trying to find out when my son would be legal to take with me for a ride in the 45 even if it's just going to the store.

Right now it's only got a seat belt on the ds, so of course I need to put the ps one back in.

I think the same rules apply for cars only in a truck you don't have a back seat. I assume you have a car seat for him. If you have a standard shoulder belt on the passenger side then it will just buckle right in. The larger concern was air bag deployment for a child in the front seat. I could be wrong, but I don't think the FJ45 came with driver AND passenger air bags.

In this case I think it only came with the airbag behind the wheel...

Just strap him in and go.The law is under a certain age/weight they need a booster seat.What that is I don`t remember.Check NJDMV`s website.

Honestly I know the child in question you douchebag.

He doesn't want to be seen with you, even in a landcruiser.

Put the passenger side seatbelt in yesterday. All I gotta do is clean the mouseshit off the other side of the bench seat, toss in the spare kid seat and should be good. Will cruise by the local pd just for them to check anyway.
