Lol. His “study” probably didn’t account for a very practical observation by any parents who just a few days of experience with kids in cars…. Getting a toddler to sit still in a car seat is virtually impossible…A car seat harness is exactly what is needed to keep the kid from moving around. Seat belts might be as effective if the object in question isn’t squirming around. But normally, that isn’t the case for a toddler[/quote]
I totally agree with you – regarding toddlers and relatively young kids. But when you talk about continuing this practice up to the age of 8 (as it is here in NJ) or 10, I think it’s worth investigating the data that the rules are based on. And frankly, using age and weight, rather than height and weight (again, for older kids) seems puzzling.
