Bebe’s word search The Littles’ crossword puzzle New child passenger law clarified Please note this correc- tion to last week's news release about the new child passenger law in Oregon (went into effect May 27, 2017). The body of the news release was correct but at the bottom of that release, The Oregon Department submitted outdated infor- The mation. and sends their apologies. Here's the correct infor- mation: Oregon law requires children less than forty pounds be restrained in a child safety system. Children under age two must use a child seat with harness in a rear-facing position, unless the child turned one year of age prior to May 26, 2017. A child over forty pounds must be restrained in either a child seat or a booster seat appropriate for their size until they reach age eight or 4’ 9” tall and the adult belt system fi ts them correctly.
