[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s extremely common for even toddlers to be in cabs in europe with no car seat. [/quote] So? How is that relevant?[/quote] American parenting is borderline insane in terms of understanding relative risk. Should kids never use a car seat?? Of course not. Are there scenarios where it’s not dangerous? Yes. Low speeds in heavy traffic present minimal risk. A lap belt does offer protection. I wouldn’t have a young child on the highway in a taxi with no car seat. But going from like Capitol Hill to Metro center? Sure. Or Old town to DCA? Yeah. Bethesda to IAD? No. But I also didn’t find it necessary to install baby gates and plug inserts and corner covers all over the house either. We way over do it. We tirelessly chase after eliminating all risk, despite that being impossible. There’s a collective anxiety disorder that exists.[/quote]
