Booster seatCommissioner David J. Swarts of the New York Stae Department of Motor Vehicles is reminding motorists about the child booster safety law that took effect statewide on November 24th.The law, which was signed by Governor David A. Patterson requires children under the age of 8 to be restrained by a child restraint system in a motor vehicle. It will take the place of the current law, which requires children under the age of 7 to be restrained by a child restraint system. New York joins more than 21 other states requiring children under the age of 8 to be rrestrained by a child restraint system.Depending on the child's size the restraint systen can be a booster or a child passenger safety system. New York State Consumer Protection Board Director Mindy Bockstein has applauded the new law stating "the new law will help our youngest passengers". In 2008 more than 6,300 children under the age of 9 were injured in car crashes in New York State. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of unintentional injuries and deaths for children.If your child has been involved in a car accident please visit us at Goldstein and Bashner to get FREE reports on how to hire an accident lawyer.
