Welcome to

One of the reasons Florida was one of nine states to flunk a traffic law safety report is because the state only requires car booster seats for kids up to age five. State Representative Keith Perry was able to move the age up from three. The law took effect in January. Now Perry says data shows  the age should go to seven.

“We found actually from six and seven years olds, there’s actually more safety concerns. I’m not sure why that age group is much more likely to traumatized with serious injuries. So, we’re looking at moving that up.”

It had been almost a decade since Florida required three year olds to be in car seats when lawmakers raised the age last spring.
