Should some children have to wear booster seats?
The issue being discussed is whether or not children under the age of 12 or under the height of 135cm should have to wear a booster seat.
Some people say that the new law is a good one because children will be safer.
Others say that it is a bad law because it is embarrassing to have people staring and laughing at them.
Those who think the booster seat law is a good one think that children should have to wear a booster seat because t will keep them safer.
They also think that it will help the children see out of the car.
Those who don’t like the new law think that they shouldn’t have to have a booster seat in the car. They also think that if they had booster seats, it would be embarrassing and they could get bullied for having to sit on a booster seat.
There are strong arguments on both sides of the argument. The booster seat law will keep children safe, although they could be bullied.
Is the booster seat law a good law?
Is the boaster seat law a brill law or a rubbish law?
Some people say that the booster seat law is great.
whilst others say that is bad.
Some people think it is a brilliant law because you keep your children safe.
And because your child can see out of the window and see were there going.
Other people think that the booster seat law is a rubbish law because small 11 year olds think it is inbarising and don’t like it.
People think the booster seat law is great because you can see out of the window. But other people think that 11 year olds will look silly.
People less than 135cm. we are for it because your child could die.
Should the car seat law carry on?
The issue being discussed is whether or not car booster seats should carry on or not.
Some people say that it’s safer than with out a booster seat.
Whilst others say that it’s embarrassing and uncomfortable.
Those who support it like some parents and other relatives like grandparents and brothers and sisters like the idea because it keeps children safe on long trips to like London and Yorkshire.
Those who support it like other parents and other relatives think it can be embarrassing on the motor way and busy roads In some towns and city’s.
As you can see there are strong arguments to support both sides of the argument. However, after carefully weighing up all the arguments, We think that the strongest argument is for because it will be safer for children under 135cm.
As you can see there are strong arguments to support both arguments. But be in favour for the booster seats for your children to be safe.
Should car seats new law go ahead?
The issue being discussed is whether children under the age of twelve and under the height of 135cm should have to sit on a booster seat.
Road safety charities like RoSPA and Brake think that it is a great law and if it is to go on ahead like the government said it could save at least 2000 lives a year.
Parents who agree with the new law and have children who are under the age of twelve and are under the height of 135cm think that it is a good law because it will keep there beloved child(ren) safer than usual. One parent told a reporter “I agree with the new law because it is better safe than sorry.”
Children and some other adults say that it is a pathetic law and a big nuisance because those who are taking another child somewhere and they need a booster seat have to either have to buy one and pay fifty pounds or borrow one from someone else.
As the government has already said that booster seats could save about 2000 lives a year. But on the other hand car booster seats may not be as successful because to make them the government has to pay and the more they pay the worst they will become.
As the government has already noticed the strong arguments for and against but making people safe they are extremely reliable and could save as many lives as the government says they could, and it is much more important to save your life than to fell really quite embarrassed about sitting in the car on a car booster seat. So most would rather save there life instead of felling embarrassed.

The issue is for child booster seat.
Some people say it is a bad law.
whilst others say it is a good law
Those who are against booster seats think that it is a bad law because people get embarrassed.
The people They think that it is a good law because their children are safe and they can see high up!
We think it is a good law because it keeps children safe from car accidents.
Should new booster seat law go ahead?
This discussion is about whether or not children under the height of 135cm should have to have a booster seat
People for the new law say that it saves lives and prevents children, toddlers and babies being killed in the car.
But on the other hand people against the law say that it costs too much money and parents who have more than three children will struggle to fit the booster seats in there car.
People who are for the law also think that there children will enjoy having booster sets because they are comfy and let them out of the window.
But on the other hand people against the law think that children will get beaten up by bullies and children will think that there not cool if they sit on one.
As you can see both arguments are supported but additionally I think that the new booster seat law is a good but I do think that it’s the best idea.
Is The Booster Seat Law Good
I lick that it is a verry good I dire becours it helps child to luck watt of the window and it is keeping there body’s safe and it is verey good.
Some people say the booster seat law is good
whilst other say it’s bad
People who have kids are happy for the kids still a with their life
Those who don’t like booster seats think that their abarising. They also think this is dome on booster seats.
The one I sprort the booster seat law the booster seat law
Should children under a certain height sit on a booster seat?
It is being argued that is the new booster seat law a good law? Should children under 12 years old sit on a booster seat?
Some people say that this is a good law if it will keep my child safe. While others say I cant afford one.
Those people in favour think that it will help children to be able to see out of the window. Medical people such as nurses and doctors think that it will prevent accidents on the road there for they think this law will be brilliant. While police also think that this law will be a success because police will know that children will be safer in backs of cars. Road safety charities are in favour of this new law it will help keep children safe in cars.
Some police think this new law is something else for us to look out for on the road. While parents think that this law is a pain because when other children come round to play parents either have to buy a spare booster seat or borrow one of someone. Also children don’t like the idea of having to sit on a booster seat because they will be embarrassed.
The government have already had a discussion and said that if this new law is going to save about 2000 lives a year. But booster seats are being sold for to much money.
The amount of lives this new law is going to save is outstanding, if booster seats will save lives then why complain?
Should children under 135cm sit on a booster seat?
The issue being discussed is. Should children be sitting on a booster seat under 135cm.
Some people say that it is a go law but on the other hand some people think it is a bad law.
I think it is a good law because it keeps children safe. I think it’s a bad law because it makes children feel silly.
I think that it is a bad law because people look silly people that mite be 60 mite be under 135cm and will have to sit in a booster seat.
It keeps children safe on the other hand it is quite bad because people under 135cm look silly.
There are strong arguments for and agents but I think it’s a good and bad law because if you are under 135cm you must sit on a booster seat. But it would be safe to have a booster seat.
Some people say that it’s a good lour
whilst others say that it’s a bad lour because older people might get in barest
Those who support booster seats think the doctors would think it was good either so children wouldn’t get hurt
Those who are against booster seats at the children that are 11and10 who will get embarrased because they would have to sit in a booster seat
I think it would be a good idea because it would be safe
I think that it would be a bad eider because you should let your person choose to have a booster seat…
As you can see there are strong arguments to support both viewpoints. However, after carefully weighing up all the arguments, I think
That we should have booster seat
Because its much more safe
Should short children sit on booster seats?
The issue being discussed is that whether children under the age of twelve and under135cm should sit in a booster seat. Both arguments for and against have good reasons so the government is being stretched.
One child who contacted BBC news round said that he didn’t like sitting in one because it was uncomfortable but then he saw what damage it could do to a child without a booster seat. But others say they embarrassed sitting one. Children can also be bullied because they sit in a booster seat because it is uncool or babyish.
Parents who are in favour of the booster seat law think that it could save their children from seat-belt cutting and could even lower the chance of not surviving in a car crash. A further point they make is children can see out of the window so they know where they are going. Moreover they state that children also feel more comfortable.
This is what Mrs. Pope had to say about it ‘My son Tom thought it was a great idea because he loves sitting in a booster seat. Also he can see out of the window and he likes that.’
As you can see there are two overwhelming arguments so it is hard to decide. But I think that booster seats are a good thing. Experts say that the new law could save thousands of lives every year.
The issue being discussed is whether or not children under the age of 12 and under 135cm.
Whilst others say that it is a rubbish law, because 12 year olds are embarrassed.
Parents think that they are safer and it makes the children higher so they can see out of the window and makes the strap lower so they don’t get hurt in an accident.
A point doctors and nurses make is that when children are going in a crash it means they are safer and won’t get much injury’s because if they have a crash the seat belt is down they’re chest.
Additionally the straps are holding them in place.
Furthermore children might think other children are going to make fun of them if there 12 and they’ll be embarrassed.
Moreover they state that it saves about 2,000 children a year because of this new law.
Those who think the law is a bad law think that its embarrassing for others also if there 12 and they have to sit on a booster seat.
They also think there isn’t many accidents on the roads before the new law, just because of the booster seats.
A further point they make is that they don’t want to spend £50 on a silly booster seat.
Additionally it makes them feel uncomfortable.
Furthermore people who like the old law which was when children under 135cm
Hadn’t needed a booster seat.
Moreover they wanted it to keep the old law the same and it doesn’t fill up a lot of space in the car.
However, children who are 12 might not want a booster seat because they might think they’ll be bullied and they might not have one and children will might have one and they’ll think its unfair.
Although some children might not have enough money to buy a booster seat. As you can see there are strong arguments to support both viewpoints. However, after carefully weighing up all the arguments, Elly and Milly think it is a good law because it keeps children safe and it stops children from having a lot of accidents and stops the seat belt strangle them when parents slam there breaks on.
As you can see there are strong arguments to support both viewpoints. You will have to decide for yourself which viewpoint you support.
Should children under 12 be seated on a booster seat or not?
The issue being discussed is …
….whether or not children under 12 or 135cm they say they got to wear a booster seat to keep safe and sound
Some people say that the new law is great because it keep the children safe
whilst others people say that the new law is not great because a 11 olds get embarrassed wear the booster seat
Parents think it a great law for there children whit a more some mums and dad think it a bad law because they got to buy £50 pounds just to get two booster seat for there children.
They also think sometime it a good indeeder for there children to keep them safe and sound.
Those who support that care and people who walk to school think it’s a good in
They also think it’s a bad indeed to let there children on a booster.
Or A further point they make is they think it’s a bad indeed for there children to go on a booster seat or some people think that it’s a good indeed for the children to be safe and sound.
Additionally
Furthermore care think it a good ideed for the children.
I think it’s a good indeed for the children
And I think it’s a bad indeed to because some 11 year olds get embarrassed because some are small 135cm.
Should the new booster seat law stay or go?
It is being argued that weather or not the new booster seat law is a good law to keep.
Some people think that the new booster seat law is good because it will keep there’re child from getting killed or injured.
On the other hand children do not like sitting on them because it is a bit embarrassing because of the other people that don’t need one.
Those who support booster seats think that the new booster seat law is great to have because they can be a lot safer. They also think that it is good because they won’t have to make any trips to the hospital. More over they state that it is a good law.
Those who are against booster seats think that the new law isn’t good because it is a bit embarrassing. They also think that they might get bullied if someone found out. However it would keep them safe.
I think this should be allowed because it will be safer for children in the car like under 12 or 135cm. and they don’t have to go to the hospital if any problems go wrong.
I don’t think it’s fair ‘coz if you’re under 12 you’re not going to look cool if you go round with a booster seat if you are about 10 + there are exactely the same amount of accidents in the Uk as there was before. I’m totally0 all aginst booster seats!
I know that I am a boring mum and am bound to support booster seats but if you think about it - the more children use them, the less embarassing it becomes!
