Hawaii Child Safety Seat and Seat Belt Laws

Hawaii allows a $25 tax credit per year towards the purchase of proper child safety seats. Hawaii requires all children under the age of 4 to be restrained in a federally approved child safety seat. Children ages 4 - 7 must ride in a booster seat or car seat any time they are in a vehicle except for children taller than 4'9" or those riding in vehicles with lap-only seatbelts in the rear seats. Children who have outgrown harnessed car seats should use a booster seat until they fit into an adult seatbelt properly. This usually occurs when a child is at least 4'9" tall and weighs at least 80 pounds.
