Car Seats and Children

Parents and Car Seats - Use Them!

Why is it so hard for some parents to understand that children should be in car seats! Recently I have seen not one, but both parents riding in a car with their toddler in the front seat with them.  Where are the checks and balances.

We have all heard when I was young we didn't have car seats or seat belts.  Yes that is true but times have changed.

The roads are more congested, the cars are larger, faster and drivers are more distrated then ever.  Do yourself and the people in the cars around you a favor and put your child in a car seat.  If you can not afford one there are resources out there that will provide you with a car seat.

That's my 2 cents!
