Booster Seats for the Old

           In 2005, more than 1,400 child occupants died in motor vehicle crashes and nearly half were unrestrained. The government wants to save children by making them sit in boosters seats.

More than 203,000 occupants under 14 years of age were injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2005. The government wants kids twelve and under to sit in booster seats to keep them safe. The old booster seat law required kids older than 4 and younger than 8 or less than 80 pounds to sit in a booster seat. With this new law it will change to 12 years old or younger. I think it is a bad law because the kids may be taller than there mom but there mom doesn't have to sit in a booster seat. That would be crazy. They need to keep the same old law. Eight years and older can wear a seat belt.
