Even setting aside the significant methodology problems with this study, this finding should calm everyone’s nerves about (the lack of) booster seat use:

“The risk of experiencing an incapacitating/fatal injury was not associated with booster use.”[/quote]

So all the other injuries don’t matter, only paralysis or death. Gotcha. [/quote]

I guess parenting is picking which hill to die on.  :wink:

And yet most parents are letting kids use backyard trampolines and swimming pools which are also significant injury risks.  Police aren’t checking peoples backyards for trampoline or pool safety, let’s face it -because those are rich people problems.  I do think this issue is primarily another tax on poor parents.  This article is an interesting take on the trade offs: https://www.deseret.com/2022/7/26/23268489/how-car-seat-laws-made-it-harder-to-start-a-family

…Not the least of which is many families buying larger cars to accommodate the car seats which is not good for many reasons. [/quote]

The Deseret News?

Yes, I suppose carseats would make it tough to get your quiverfull into one car.

The rest of us can prioritize our few kids.
Carseats don't have to be top of the line

Walmart sells several for $70 and there are free events where people will check your carseat. Even our fire department says you can drive up and they will double check.
