How old do you have to be to be a passenger on a motorcycle in Louisiana?

If your state has seatbelt safety regulations for children, it will probably have a legal age requirement for the youth to be a passenger on the motorcycle.

In Most states with regulation on the age of your passenger, the legal age requirement for passengers is 13, however some are lower, going down to 5 years of age.

According to American Motorcyclists (http://home.ama-cycle.org/amaccess/laws/result.asp?state=la):

Louisiana stae law requires your passenger to be at least 5 years of age, have accessible footpegs for the child, A passenger seat with backrest, a visor for the child EVEN IF you have a windshield. These are required only for road use.

For off road use, the only requirement is for the child to be wearing protective headgear and for them to be registered as a user of the vehicle unless using the vehicle for racing OHMs and street registered OHMs.
