Child car seat regulations are state laws passed by state politicians. They are not experts in any sense of the word, and generally don't bother with evidence or studies when creating said laws.

Just follow the CDC recommendation then, which is to keep kids in a car seat until 11-12 years old.

I'm not arguing all laws are good or make sense. In this specific case, the law lines of up with the recommendation of experts studying the topic.
