Really? I've never heard of anything similar in other states that increased car seat laws fairly recently (including my state). Hmm.
I don't understand what it means that car seat laws are "through" a particular department. Aren't laws passed by the legislature and signed by the governor?
I can certainly see logistics, pressure or recommendations from a department influencing the passage/defeat of a law, but not dictating it.
I know a child that was 40 pounds on his 2nd birthday. He would obviously not fit in a 35 pound Scenera. Infact, he had an Evenflo Tribute and moved into an Apex (this was like 4 yrs ago).That's stupid, imo....
A wide variety of kids can fit in the 35 bucks Scenera to well beyond 2... (I still have a 4 yr old rfing in the Scenera) plus there are well reasonable seats to use.. including the ever used Dorel in my area... all of their convertible seats now rf to 40 so.....
If a kid comes through a seat check and under 2, then they are welcome to keep their seat and use it as soon their kid turn 2 but we would provide them a program seat to use until then... but not only that, Britax requires 2 years to use their Frontier... why can't the others do that? Argh...
I wasn't happy when it didn't pass but thought maybe they would have good reasons... this is dumb.
