Apparently youre supposed to use some variation of a car seat from birth until like 12 years old (~5ft, ~100lbs). Wtf? I dont remember ever sitting in a booster seat growing up.

Better safety regulations than in the past. That's all. In my state, it's booster seat until 8 years old or they reach 4'9" in height. The weight requirement was removed.

Statistically its shown car seats arent much better than just a seat belt once you can fit in the seat.

Airbags do most the work now days

What business does the government have to dictate what I do with my child in my own car? Why arent I trusted to provide safety to my own child? This is ridiculous.

They built the roads with your money, so they own the roads now. Are you against property rights?

Because "unrestrained child ejected from car" happened in enough collisions for us to reach this point.
