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.


Your privilege is showing.


$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.

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.

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.

That doesn’t make it right. Or sensible.

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.
