Oregon Child Car Seat Law — ORS §811.210
Oregon law requires child restraints for all children under 8 years old — one of the strictest age thresholds in the US. The fine for a first violation starts at $115, with repeat offenses carrying higher penalties. Oregon State Police actively enforce child seat laws at PDX pickup zones and on I-205 and I-84 corridor routes.

| Ages 2-3 | Forward-facing with harness | Mandatory (ORS §811.210) | Convertible seat (up to 65 lbs) |
| Ages 4-7 or under 4'9" | Booster seat | Mandatory (ORS §811.210) | Belt-positioning booster |

Oregon vs. National Average
Oregon requires child seats through age 7 (or until 4'9"), compared to the federal minimum of age 4. Oregon also mandates rear-facing seats through age 2 — the same strict standard as California. Rideshare apps in Oregon are exempt from providing child seats. Detailed Drivers is not exempt — we comply with Oregon law on every ride.
