I think the law makers should re-think the issue over again, before they make a final decision. I had to be a certain height and weight before I could enjoy my favorite rides. There seems to be a parallel here. I feel that the law should concentrate on the height and weight safety factors and not necessarily the age since children mature and develop at different speeds. However, it is an intrusion into people's personal lives.
Parents can decide when it's time to go from child seats to safety belts.
