[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a theory! 
I bet the people who still have or plan to have 11 year olds in boosters are the SAME people who are still masking indoors. I also bet the people who stopped using boosters early or the second they could get away with transitioning are the SAME people who resented masking and stopped as soon as they were allowed. 
Amirite?[/quote]

Not even close. My 11 year old still uses a booster because her height/weight indicates that she needs it. We dropped masks at school the second it was permitted, and I have never once put my kids in an n95 respirator. Why? Covid is very low risk to kids. Car accidents otoh are a major cause of death in children and you can’t control what lunatics are doing on the highway. [/quote]

Exactly. It is a painless way to prevent or mitigate one of the most dangerous things kids do. So weird how ppl push so hard against it. [/quote]

There was a PP in this thread who said they’d been in a car accident and it “wasn’t that bad,” so they don’t worry as much about car seats/boosters for kids.

I just… people are insane. I’ve been in a car accident with my kid in a car seat (rear facing) and even though it turned out not to be that bad, it was awful in those moments where I didn’t know if my kid was okay or if the car seat had done it’s job. Thankfully it did, but the idea that a car accident would make you more cavalier about car safety…. Insane.[/quote]
