We were told that mandated car seats and seat belts would flatten the curve of pediatric auto fatalities. We signed up for them based on our understanding they wouldn’t be around forever.

Now we have MUCH safer cars that prevent a lot more deaths than anything we had before. With improvements to air bags, brakes, car design, automated safety features we can/should remove the car seat & seat belt mandates which don’t even prevent deaths that well anyways.

If people choose to drive cars without automated safety features maybe they should use car seats and seat belts but we shouldn’t have to. If they (or their kids) die, they die, it was their choice. Natural selection
