Booster seat bill passes

The governor has signed the bill making booster seats mandatory for children 8 years of age and under unless they weigh more than 80 pounds.

I'm glad they made the weight exception, but it seems fairly obvious the reason the bill was passed was so that Wisconsin could get more transportation aid from the feds.

Aside from the politics, I just can't imagine being eight years old and having to sit in some booster seat. I was a little tall for my age so maybe I would've been okay. Then I could've made fun of my friends who were still locked down like they were preparing for a shuttle launch.
