> Child restraint systems are often used incorrectly. An estimated 46% of car seats and booster seats are misused in a way that could reduce their effectiveness.

Do you also oppose mandating car seats and seat belts?
- useragent86 5y agoThat kind of argument is disingenuous flamebait and ought to be flagged. By the same logic, are car seats and seat belts injected into the body?
- colechristensen 5y agoNo, and indeed we already do. It also illustrates a point: some people are really quite paranoid about their kids and covid but happily take other higher risks like driving around their kids in cars, which even with safety devices pose a higher risk, citing the data you just posted. I would oppose checkpoints which denied people travel privileges unless their seatbelts were checked to be used properly.
