Got stopped for an RBT today.

I had Miss1½ in a rearfacing seat, Miss7 in a forwardfacing booster, Miss9 in the back next to them, and Miss11 in the front.

The officer asked the age of Miss9 (presumably since she wasn't in a seat). She was most offended by this and complained about it all the way home. Miss7 was also complaining because the officer probably thought she was six (or younger) since she was sitting in the seat.

I tought it was good that they are now checking and explained to the girls that they need to allow for childen whom may appear older than they really are and gave the example of 18+ establishments checking ID for anyone who looks under 25.

I think it's good that they are checking as well.

We need more police like you have in our area. I wish they would crack down on the carseat laws around here. They only have to go and do a spot check at the primary school drop off every morning and will get a nice bit of revenue for the state as well as most importantly getting parents to restrain their kids properly in cars.
Sorry its a bit of a pet peeve of mine that parents are just not caring how and where their kids are sitting in cars.

I agree mrsT! they do this near our place, as well as a school zone speed camera.
good on them I say- make sure money and stop lawbreakers!
