"Florida law requires that all drivers, all front seat passengers, and all passengers
under the age of 18 wear safety belts. Children under age 4 must be in a safety
seat, and children ages 4 and 5 must be in either a safety seat or a booster seat.
Florida law exempts the following from the safety belt requirements:
► A person certified by a physician as having a medical condition that causes
safety belt use to be inappropriate or dangerous. (Keep a copy of certification
while driving/being driven.)
► Employee of a newspaper home delivery service while delivering newspapers.
► School buses purchased new prior to December 31, 2000.
► Buses used for transportation of persons for compensation.
► Farm equipment.
► Trucks of a net weight of more than 26,000 pounds.
► A safety belt (without booster seat) may only be used for children 4–5 years of
age when the driver is not a member of the child’s immediate family and the
child is being transported as a favor or in an emergency.
It is the parent or guardian’s responsibility to supply the proper child restraint
when transporting a child in a vehicle for hire (e.g., taxi, bus, limousine)."
