Similar to Virginia, Massachusetts has passed a law which requires kids under the age of 8 to ride in a car seat or booster seat. The law, which took effect July 10, 2008, replaces an old safety seat statute that required children under the age of 5 or under 40 pounds to be in a child car seat. The new car seat law is based on age and height-based rather than age and weight based, attempting to prevent children from improper alignment of adult seat belts.
