I was helping a co-worker carry some stuff to her car the other day. In the back seat there was a child restraint seat. Being that her only daughter is seven years old, I asked her who she was babysitting for. It turns out that in Jersey now, children weighing under 70 pounds and under 12 years old must sit in one of these things.
I told her that back when I was that age, if I got dropped off at school while riding in a baby seat, I'd get my ass kicked by the other kids.
