My 7 year-old rides in a car seat and she better like it because she's not coming out of it. The seat belt cuts her across the throat without it.

Same here. My 7 year old is pretty small and without the booster the seatbelt rides right across her neck. However, I am totally against this being law.

Look, if it makes your daughter and you feel safer, you can wear a crash helmet while sitting in your car. I don't mind. I am tired of more and more regulation over matters of personal choice in our society. This is one of them. What is to stop them from making it mandatory for 12 year olds? Did we elect the legislators to pass this kind of regulation? Kids can't sit in the front seat in a lot of states because airbags have been proven to kill children under 12. Why isn't Ralph Nader being brought on the carpet for that? Now that I think about it, I think a lot of the problem stems from the increasing creep of socialized medicine. If the government pays for more and more of the middle-class medical bills, they will increasingly dictate what we have to do in our daily lives. End middle-class welfare now!

It sounds like your daughter still needs a car seat, and you are right to provide it.

But should my friend, who has a six-year-old, 75lb son be required by law to treat his bruiser in the same manner? This kid could eat a oncoming car.
