I wish they would do that everywhere!
I thought NY was under 7? Meaning 6 all the way to the 7th birthday. I should really find that out.
Yes, that is how the law is supposed to be interpreted, but it use the wording like age 6 and under or something like that. Let me see...

Oh, it does say under age 7. Now I have to figure out where it says 6 and 60, because I have seen it for the law. Hmm, there is no weight listed either. I don't know where I got that
here it is..

Under the what are the laws, etc. Children age 4, 5, and 6 must be secured in a proper child restraint. Look, not child must be in booster
Which means a hwh seat is included in the law, as are vests. But it does say that a child under 4, who is not yet 40 pounds must be in a federally approved car seat. Hmm, unclothed my dd is 38.5-39 pounds...but has outgrown a decathlon.... Now, I know to keep her harnessed, and she is over 40 when clothed, closer to 42, but I know alot of parents with bigger 3 year olds won't necessarily go out and buy a nautilus when they can get a booster instead.
ANd another point I usually like to make when people talk about the fines..since it is only 25-100 dollars, but it is 3 POINTS on your license.
