NY is changing their child restraint laws!

As of November 24,2009 children must be in an appropriate child restraint system until their 8th birthday. This is instead of their 7th birthday which it is now. :thumbsup: I just hope that people abide and that law enforcement enforces it.

Hmm...anyone have a creative way of sending this information along to my aunt in NY?

She doesn't follow the LAW as it is, never mind best practice.
Her 5 year old is in a belt and the 3 year old is in a backless booster. Pfft.

How heavy is the 3 year old? If under 40 pounds, NY state law also reads they must be harnessed. THere is a difference in the wording for harness use and booster use. I posted it on facebook.
