The link that Jim provided says it quite well. The laws in question mainly concern mass, momentum, weight, and your own human reflexes.
You can hold on to a child as tight as you can, but a sudden drop of the aircraft due to an air pocket will shuck that child right out of your arms before your senses realize what happened. Child then hits ceiling, then slams to the floor or a seat.
If the laws of almost every state, and most nations require children of certain sizes to be in child-seats while in much slower cars, they sure as hell ought to be required on aircraft flying much faster, and operating around all three axis or motion.
