On the 3rd March 2011, the Georgia House of representatives adopted a Bill which riding in a car seat from 6 years to 8 years would increase the age requirement for children. The current Georgia law, 40 titles, Chapter 8, 76.1 requires that children 6 and to drive in a car seat younger age. A car seat can a child use under the current law, if the child is greater than 4 ft. Is 9 inches or weigh more than 40 kg are excluded. The new legislation would exempt children that meet this same height and weight requirements. The current law applies only to children riding in a motor vehicle registered in Georgia and not in motor vehicles, registered only travel in Georgia in other countries.

The current car seat legislation, children in the age of 6 years and younger in a car or booster seat secured be went into force in 2004, and was then Madison's law. A little girl named was spared the life of a car seat in a catastrophic car accident. Madison Harley survived, rammed in a SUV in the side of their family minivan and on the side of the van, where Madison seated was sheared to fit. The booster which sat Madison, credited live emergency responders as the young girl.

The Governor's Office of highway safety (GOHS) reported that children are three times more likely , in a car accident seriously injured are, if they are strapped in a seat. In addition, children who are ejected four times more likely by injuries after ejecting or overwhelm by a vehicle in a car accident are killed. The GOHS has recommended for some time, children from 6-8 in a car seat to reduce the risk of vehicle of ejections, catastrophic injuries and deaths be backed up.

In the new Bill finer all licensed Georgia driver found a $50 would get in violation for a first offense, and $100 for a second offence. An important aspect of the new law is that existing car seats and booster the child properly fit. A small person correctly without a booster seat fit shoulder strap. The lap belt should be through the basin not the stomach where it is against a child, and the shoulder belt should fit in the clavicle for the belt to be effective. By a child in a booster seat, placed the tapes for optimum support. The Ministry of health Georgia teaches Georgia residents to their children in a booster seat save up to 80 lbs, is twice the current request. Their argument for increasing weight is because 70 per cent of children under the age of 8, but still too small for a proper fit in safety belt without a booster seat about the weight of 40 pounds.
