School buses still exempt?
4’9???? Heck, my 57 year old sister is 4’10!!! She would barely be out of a booster seat ... lol!!
The previous spouse would have needed to be in a booster seat.
A lot of the old Korean ladies we saw in Columbus, GA may not even be 4’9”.
I once saw a pronouncement by some safety Nazi group pushing back seats until the age of 16.
I kind of wondered how the chillens would learn to drive.
What idiocy.
I lead a boys adventure group where we routinely take 11-17 year old boys camping and on other trips, sometimes even the younger boys. I couldn’t imagine having to outfit a van with 11 booster seats.
...Booster seats would be necessary until children reach 4 feet 9 inches tall.
I would have been in a booster seat in 8th grade - 4’8”
And this clown Inslee wants to be president!? The world is upside down. It’s a joke, but stupid people don’t laugh at themselves.
The posts on this thread are giving me some much-needed laughter; much funnier than the mega-buck late night comedians.
I guess not a lot of Filipinos live in Washington state.
How about adults under 4’9”?
do they make booster seats for fat kids that are 4 feet 8 inches???
or is this going to generate a whole new product line.
The state’s pygmy community is planning a lawsuit.
This is only what is reported. I live in WA and some of the weird stuff to come out of Olympia is down right scary. The state symbol should be a diaper.
OR make the back seat rise to a proper height.
Airline seats should work perfectly for people that size.
Lots of small cars already seem optimized for the under 5 foot crowd and won’t have room for a booster the same size as existing back seat.
I don’t suppose they talked to any auto makers before passing this law.
I guess there are a lot of members of Rush’s
Keeping Our Own Kids Safe chapters in WA.
Jeez, I would have bee suck in a booster seat in my freshman year. How humiliating.
Washington? Perhaps these car-seat kids will be able to vote.
Washing state is trying to prove they are more screwed up than NY or California.
I have a Chinese friend who lives in Portland.
When they passed this for Oregon, I asked her if she needed a special car seat.
It didn’t go well.
