- sanderjd 8y agoYou shouldn't be getting downvoted. This is a good point. Not that cars should actually be recalled because of this, but that there are risks on all sides that parents are constantly weighing and navigating. I suspect it is truly less safe for parents to be critically sleep deprived than for a baby to sleep in one of these. Especially in the first couple months when you're driving to the doctor all the time. Are there statistics on car accidents including infants due to sleep deprivation? Or even just injuries due to dropping babies when sleep deprived? I suspect it would be hard to gather these because parents don't like to acknowledge (even to themselves) how much the sleep deprivation is affecting them.

- shereadsthenews 8y agoI burst out laughing but this is a sad reality. People really do lose their minds when they can’t sleep. And we know from DST change days that sleep deprivation causes transport fatalities.
