Law enforcement officials will be out all across Oregon over the next couple of weeks to help ensure children are in the right safety seat system during an enforcement campaign being funded by the Oregon Department of Transportation.  The Oregon State Police, 48 police departments, and 19 Sheriff’s Offices are participating in the campaign.  In 2016 in Oregon, lack of a safety belt or child restraint system was a factor in 89 deaths – or 26 percent of the 343 motor vehicle occupant fatalities.  Oregon law requires children to ride in a rear-facing safety seat until they are at least two years old.  A child over age two must continue to ride in a car seat with harness until 40 pounds and then in a booster until they reach age eight or 4’ 9” in height and the adult belt fits them correctly.
