Car Seats for the little ones.?

Why is it we have to get our children car seats/boosters again if there under 4ft5, unless they have passed there 12th birthday, There are plenty of people over 12 that are shorter than 4ft5 so why do they not have to seat in a car seat, wouldn’t it look funny seeing small adults sitting in these booster.

Answers:
Spend the money and protect your kids!!!!
Because small adults are less likely to run amok in the back of a car, so a seat that is child proof is a good idea.
BECAUSE IT IS TO DO WITH SAFETY THE GOVERNMENT ARE TAKING IT REALLY SERIOULSY BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE OF ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS
i can't really see how having a car seat or booster can be useful in a car crush or accident. Seat belt all the time - that's for sure. For children under 5 - yes, for goodness seek: just to keep them at one spot please. Everything else - just an unnecessary expense
Can you place a monetary value on the life of your children?
Anything that keeps kids safe is worth any expense!
unless they are tall enough the seat belt will not fit correctly
Just put your kids in the seats and keep them safe. How does the govrnment make money? It's Halfords that are rubbing their hands together!
car seats are a stupid idea, re-educate drivers every 5 years would be safer.The goverment will make money from fines outside schools
it is silly i work at a school and the children that have had to go back to a car seat/booster get picked on its not fair ton the children it should be the parents that choose
