The National Transportation Safety Board is urging Arizona to take further steps to make sure that children are restrained safely in cars. The Board says that Arizona is one of only three states that don’t require children ages 5 through 8 to use booster seats.

But the Arizona Republic reports that State Senator Linda Gray is pushing a bill that would require all children under 9 to be properly restrained when in a vehicle. Children 5 through 8 would be required to use booster seats.

Booster seats raise a child in a vehicle so that a seat belt fits properly.
