On April 14, 2010 the Butler Township Police Department demonstrated seatbelt safety to the third graders of Murlin Heights Elementary.  The children were told the importance of wearing their seatbelt, locking their car door, children under 12 years of age sitting in the back seat, and that the law requires everyone to wear a seatbelt.  Officer Sink demonstrated the proper way to wear a seatbelt and the booster seat requirements for children 4 years of age until age 8 and under 40 pounds or taller than 4’9”.  The recent change in the law requires children that do not meet these requirements to sit in a booster seat.
