Modifies provisions relating to drivers' duty to secure child passengers

Summary

The bill rewrites Missouri’s child‑passenger‑restraint law, mandating rear‑facing seats for children under two unless the seat’s manufacturer limits are met, and setting age, weight, and height thresholds for when a child must use a forward‑facing seat, booster, or just the vehicle’s seat belt. It applies to any driver transporting a child under 16, with limited exemptions for public carriers and school buses, and adds modest fines for violations.
