Yeah. That Makes Sense.
In Colorado, you can get a ticket if you have a child riding in the car and you don’t have seat belt or child seat that is approved for a child of that age by the federal government. However, it is entirely legal to let that kid ride unrestrained in the bed of a pickup truck (if the child is five or older), or on the back of a motorcycle without a helmet.
Way to earn those paychecks, law-makers.
