Child seat laws in the US are really starting to piss me off. They say you have to keep a kid in a safety seat until they are 4'9" (144.8 centimeters) tall. I know some adults that are barely that tall that drive. Hell, I remember back as early as 7 years old, riding around in the back of pick up trucks.
This makes me wonder about the ramifications this has for little people. Dwarfs are considered to be people that are less than 4'10" at full adult height. So, all of them have to ride around in a safety seat for ...well.....forever?!? Something isn't right here; I think we're getting a little carried away with this safety stuff. You know, I have 6 kids and I care a great deal about their safety but putting a 10 year old in a car seat is pretty damned ridiculous!
