Well, that saved me 2 booster seats...
KELO is reporting this morning that the House Transportation committee smartly killed that stupid bill to require kids 5 through 8 to be in booster seats.
A bill to require booster seats for children from the age of five through seven was killed today in the South Dakota Legislature.Read it all here. Let's hope that it doesn't come back this, or any other session.
and...
They also say it would be difficult to enforce a law that would require booster seats for children of five through seven who are not yet 57 inches tall because police couldn't tell their ages by looking at them or how tall they are.

why don't you just put your kids in bubble wrap and never let them leave the house? sounds like that'd be the best plan for you.
You don't have to convince anyone in that family about the need to use safety seats!
That indicates a tremendous failure on the part of the SD legislature in too many cases. They make general law which should be related to general data and information not simply their own personal experience.
That said, whatever reason you decide is good enough, get into the habit of buckling seat belts and protecting kids who aren't statisticians or safety oriented.
It's not you that you and your riders may have to worry about, it may be the drunk or incompetent, the drugged, or the sleeping driver in another vehicle, or the guy who just had a heart attack with his foot on the accelerator pedal. It is not possible to anticipate or react to all the stupidity, ignorance and just plain bad luck and circumstance on highways.
Yeah we don't the Gov't intrusion. Do you hope the aborion bill doesn't come back either?
What a dork.
You might be a dork, but they are myopic control freaks who use their Bibles as an excuse for their attempts to run everyone else's lives.
I'd rather be a dork.
