Project 8 is South Dakota's goal to keep kids safe by making sure they are in the best child seat for their height and weight, until they are at least 8 years old. At 8 years, most can safely wear a seat belt because they are taller than 4'9" and weigh more than 80 pounds.
To learn how you can keep your kids safe with Project 8 or if you qualify for a child seat, contact a Project 8 program in your region.
Project 8 distributes infant, toddler and booster seats to income eligible families across South Dakota. Those interested in receiving a seat must show proof of financial need, such as Medicaid, WIC, or CHIP, child care assistance or Head Start enrollment to receive each seat. Learn more.
All children who have outgrown infant or convertible child seats should be properly restrained in booster seats until they are at least 8 years old, meet weight limit of booster seat or are 4' 9".
