I'm not talking about the rearview. They make mirrors so you can see the baby.

you can buy a type of mirror that steaps onto the back of the back seat, so you can see the baby's face.
I love that thing. McK's head looks normal, but it makes her hands look gigantic. It's like she's wearing a big foam finger!
Have you ever been on the scene of a car wreck before
Yes, and at a few the seat belt did more damage.

Yep, and at a few surguries, the patient dies. We dont stop operating, do we? No, because in the whopping majority of cases, the patient lives, and the wearers of seatbelts survive.
Back to my egg analogy. You rattle an egg in a steel box. I'll strap one into a plastic box with foam padding, and rattle it. Unless I didnt strap it right, its going to survive. Face it, theres no way to argue that being unbelted is better. There might be %.1 of crashes where being unbelted is better, but guess what. When your driving, you dont know before the crash happens what kind its going to be.
You want to play those odds?
It's none of your business. If you want to buckle up, buckle up. Nobody's stopping you.

If the lap belt is positioned properly (over the pelvis) then it won't do any internal damage.
Seat belts are designed for someone that is over a certain size and weight....I am 5'4" and 130lbs and the seat belt doesn't go over my pelvis....it goes across higher up....With the shoulder harness, I have to have the adjustable one or it goes across my chin(where is the protection in that)
If you think about it, the majority of people that have a vehicle with a back seat, have kids and that's where they go....the seat belts that are back there are designed the same way as the ones for the driver and front seat passenger....I know that all of my mutts at one time or the other, would take the shoulder harness part of it and put it behind them because it was going across their face

Are you saying you lied to us in your previous post about holding her in your lap. I will never believe another one of your posts, you're nothing but a LIAR!
I think that's what we are getting at here, technology has changed the times we live in.

My neice got a ticket once for not wearing her seat belt....she took it to court....she fought it on the grounds that it was her personal property and that she had the right to do whatever she wanted to do in that vehicle....she also said that since she was employed and she paid federal, state and local taxes, the road was somewhat hers also
Judge liked the way she presented the case with all the documented proof and let her go with a warning....he also said she needed to take up law

See... this is my stance as well. I have always buckled my kids in and now that they are grown, they always chose to buckle themselves in. However, I don't believe I have the right to force my choice other parents.
I also believe that parents have the right to chose or deny medical treatment for their children.

She lives in So Md. not Japan where that the norm.
When we were there, it was an everyday occasion that you would see moms driving down the road holding their infants....I saw a woman breast feeding one day

Technology or busy bodies that want to control everything we do?

Buckle the kids up til they are 18. At 18 they are old enough to make the decision to risk their life.

I've already said that I dont care if adults dont buckle up......
This is about kids and belts, remember.
