Plan Your Trip Travel with Children - Washington, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest - page 97

In Oregon, Washington and Vancouver, BC, child passengers under 40lb must be re-
strained in an approved child safety seat. Children over 40lb (or who are at the maximum
weight limit of their car seat's harness system) must use a booster seat until they are
4ft9in (145cm) or eight years of age (nine in Vancouver).
A child over 4ft9in or eight years of age (nine in Vancouver) must properly use the
vehicle's seat belt. Infants under one year of age and under 20lb must ride in a rear-fa-
cing child safety seat away from air bags.
Most car-rental agencies rent safety seats for infants and older children. Reserve in ad-
vance.
In Washington and Oregon, there are reasonably spaced rest areas along I-5.
