There is no Indiana law.
Indiana has a specific child-seat law.
Indiana requires children under age 8 to be secured in a child safety seat or booster seat appropriate for their age, height, and weight. From age 8 until 16, a standard seat belt is required. Violations carry fines and are a primary offense — officers can stop drivers for the violation alone.
