Change in Booster Seat Law

Just saw this and thought I'd pass it along. As of June 30, the Maryland booster seat laws will change. The new law requires that every child younger than 8 years old must ride in a booster seat or other appropriate child safety seat unless the child is 4 feet, 9 inches or taller, or weighs more than 65 pounds.
"Child safety seat” includes infant seats, convertible seats, forward-facing seats, booster seats,or other federally approved safety devices.
TAA's 6-year-old weighs around 40 pounds soaking wet so she's still in a booster seat, although she's itching to get out. Now we can say, "you can't get out, it's the law."
We lived in Pennsylvania when that state passed a similar law. I've never heard so much complaining about anything. The residents of Doylestown (i.e. well-heeled) decrying the law because of the "hardship" cost of a new booster seat. FYI -- you can get a booster at Target, Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, etc. for about $20.
