(Springfield, IL) — Moms and dads are going to have to keep their rear-facing car seats for a little while longer. Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner on Friday signed a new law that requires children stay in a rear-facing seat until they are two-years-old. The new law is more specific than the old rules that simply required ‘age appropriate’ seats for all kids until age eight. Rear-Facing is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
