Car Seat Waiver

Beginning July 1, 2015 MBA will provide child safety seats at no charge to all passengers requiring the use of one.

MBA Child Safety Seat Guidelines and procedures are based upon Florida Law and Recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

MBA will provide federally approved car seats to any child under 5 (five) years old and booster seats in accordance with Florida Law.

Florida law states the following:

• Children 5 years old or younger must be secured in a federally approved child restraint system.

• Children 3 years old or younger must use a separate car seat or the vehicle’s built in child seat.

• Children 4 to 5 years old must sit in a separate car seat, a built in car seat or a seat belt, depending on the child’s height and weight.

• Use a rear-facing child car seat in the back seat of the car.

1 year old and 20 lbs. – 4 years old and 40 lbs.

• Use a rear-facing child car seat in the back seat until they outgrow the weight and height limit of the child car seat.
