I don't understand all the fuss about car seat laws.

Why don't people have them anyway? Whether its law or not, you want your children to be safe right?

I wouldn't let my DC go in a car without a car seat whether it was law or not. Years ago, we'd been on a day trip with the PIL and DD (then 3) wanted to travel home in their car - I went to my car to undo the carseat and when I got to their car, MIL had sat DD on a cushion - it wasn't law then, but there was no WAY she was travelling like that.

Not until the end of Feb. Ds says "but I've been 3 for ages mum".

I think if I could keep him this age forever I probably would.

Ah, yes, I LOVED 3 ... fab age ...
DD will be 3 in February ...
I found 4 for DS quite hard ... but I think that was more because DD came along and he had a serious nose out of joint situation going on.
5 was good ... 6 - Mr Attitude ... 7 remains to be seen.

Belated thanks to all those who responded to my school taxi question! I'm going to look into it a bit more, and hopefully they will agree to use a booster that I will provide, and the school will store during the day.
