In an effort to help save the lives of children involved in motor vehicle crashes, Maryland put into effect Monday a revised law that calls for the proper restraint of children in booster seats.

The new law extends the age a child is required to be in a booster seat from 6 to 8 (or until they weight at least 65 pounds or reach the height of 4’9″ tall).
