                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

EXCEPTIONS FOR CERTAIN CHILDREN (§ 46.2-1096)

Whenever any physician licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth or any
other state determines, through accepted medical procedures, that use of a child
restraint system by a particular child would be impractical by reason of the
child&#8217;s weight or height, physical unfitness, or other medical reason, the
child shall be exempt from the provisions of this article. Any person
transporting a child so exempted shall carry on his or her person or in the
vehicle a signed written statement of the physician identifying the child so
exempted and stating the grounds therefor.
