This should probably be a Bitching Post. Grr. I am disgusted that Alberta (among others!) does not have a booster seat law. This CBC story horrifies me - only 30% of kids who should use booster seats, do? Yikes.
I was just talking about this issue with my BFF. Her son's friend and the friend's brother are 8 and 5 years old - NEITHER ride in a car seat, because, in the words of their mother, "There's no law." HELLO? You would deliberately put your child at potential risk just because there's no law?
