 ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - As a registered nurse in a hospital emergency room, Frank Coolidge has seen firsthand the suffering an automobile accident can cause. As a parent of two children ages 5 and 3, he and his wife take every precaution possible to ensure their kids are safe when their family travels.
So he had no problem buying two booster seats — one for each of the family's cars — for his oldest child in order to comply with a new state law. Starting Sunday, all children statewide ages 4, 5 and 6 were required to be restrained in approved car booster seats.
"I think it's a very good law," said Coolidge. "It's needed. It'll save kids."
