I was looking up booster laws in SC for a friend who's dd is 8 yrs old, but only weighs 45 lbs.
While reading the laws....my mouth gaped open!!!
First:
So...its ok to not have your child in a proper child restraint if you don't have enough child restraints. I know that they probably mean this to be in an emergency situation....but the way it is stated, it doesn't sound that way. :thumbsdown:
Secondly:
This is where you get the nutsos who will breastfeed while driving and the law says its ok!!!!
Anyway, I knew nobody else would understand other than you all here!

First:
SECTION 56-5-6420. Transportation of children with insufficient number of restraint devices. If all the seating positions with restraint devices are occupied by children under the age of six years, a child may be transported and the driver of the motor vehicle is not in violation of the provisions of this article, but priority must be given to children under the age of six years, according to their ages.

Secondly:
SECTION 56-5-6430. Use of restraint device not required under certain circumstances. The provisions of this article do not apply if a child being transported is being fed, has a physical impairment, or a medical problem or any distress which makes it impractical to use a child restraint system. Alternate restraint protection, such as safety belts, must be utilized if possible.
