[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t care what other people do, but I do have a problem with extending the legal mandates to higher ages without strong evidence of a significant benefit. And if you think there is, then you clearly haven’t bothered to look at the methodology and data sources of the studies used to justify these actions.[/quote] This is because the manufacturers lobby congress for legal mandates to sell more car seats. It's an easy thing for congress to vote for (more safety!) and hard to vote against. But in fact, it puts the poor at a greater disadvantage - they can't afford to keep buying car seats, so they are more likely to be fined if pulled over or jailed in case of an accident. [/quote]
