Many times a day, I’m reminded that less can mean more from an environmental perspective, but this thought provocing video goes strictly against the grain of everything we are tought about child safety and car seats. In fact just a couple of months ago, I argued the exact opposite for older children, stating that they were allowed to be in simple boosters rather than full harness car seats at 40 pounds only becuase it was too difficult to make these kids strap into the “safer” equipment.!
Will this change the world of car seats? Unlikely before the world of cars is changed due to the price of oil!
