[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What parent would risk injury to their child? I don't understand some of these comments.

Of course we rear-face to age 3 (minimum), and yes we use boosters until the kids are nearly teens. They must fit the adult belt to ride in the seatbelt alone.

Risk injury or even death? No way!

There is so much that can harm a child, why not protect them in the car?  It's easy.

There is risk in everything in life. Parents risk injury to their kids in everything they do. Every time your child walks down the street they risk injury or death, every time they eat food they risk injury or death. Every parent has to draw their own line as to what level of risk is acceptable. Some parents are very risk adverse and others accept more risk because of other benefits. Not putting your child in a car at all would decrease even more the risk of being in a MV accident but that is a risk that most parents are willing to assume. People assume little more or less risk than others depending on their comfort level, the information they are working from, and all other factors / context involved. What stats do you have to show evidence that preteens in boosters experience less injury and death? [/quote]
