Episode Details

Cruising in the back of a pickup truck in Idaho? It’s legal for adults—but not for kids under seven, who must ride secured inside the cab. Safety seats don’t work right in the bed, and the state’s got your back (literally) to keep little ones safe. For all kids six and under, car seats are mandatory every trip—and even after that, back seats are best until age thirteen. Transitioning out of car seats follows stages: rear-facing until two, forward-facing until about four, then booster seats until around eight. Skip these steps at your own risk—child endangerment charges, jail time, and serious fines could follow if a kid gets hurt. And while pets aren’t banned from the truck bed, unsafe conditions could land you in trouble with animal cruelty laws. Bottom line: ride inside. It’s safer.
