It's a racist law, and it's also designed to financially hurt poorer people as well.

How? A booster seat is less than $20.

Oh my, the rich racism screamer again... You can get free car seats new through most counties and people regularly give them away. If you can afford a car, you can afford or will find a way to get a car seat. People like you shouldn't have kids.

And yet if you're riding a bike, you can do literally anything you want. There are no rules apparently. I saw a bicyclist with an infant in the basket on the front of her bike.

I always made sure I handed over my kid's booster/travel booster when they riding in someone else's car.

That doesn’t make it right. Or sensible.

For booster seats it depends on the car and the size of the child. They are helpful in SUVs but are dangerous in a typical compact sedan. Go to a used car lot and test it out. The fact that booster seat rules vary from state to state and are completely unheard of outside the US should tell you it's mostly a scam perpetuated by Big Booster Seat. I ditched them after age 5.

My 10 year old son is still in high back booster seat, and he is 80 lbs and 54 inches. The seat says it goes up to 110 lbs. I see kids younger or smaller than him has dropped the car seat. He does not mind to sit in one.

Big Booster Seat? Put down the crack pipe.

It only depends on the size of the car if by compact sedan you mean a Power Wheels.

$20 for a much safer option in a crash is not privilege. Clearly you're an AH/trolling, but if you can just step back for a second and think about how stupid what you just said was - please do it.
