It's funny, but even my own parent's generation (not 'my' parents) look at me wide eyed when I insist that my kids be buckled up in booster/carseats etc. They have this 'oldfashioned' idea that just because nothing happened to them and to us (their kids) that their grandchildren should be exempt from possible harm.

The reality is that the ones that payed the ultimate price, with their lives and / or that of their kids, are simply not 'living' to impart their wisdom on us fools that think..............."it only happens to someone else...."

Adults don't want to use seatbelts, fine; but kids should not have to pay the price for the ignorance of adults that don't value safety. And don't give me the excuse that car seats cost too much. A car costs alot, not a car seat. I wouldn't buy a car that doesn't have power windows........like many people here have cars that cost an absolute fortune..........and yet.....their kids don't have car seats.

It's ironic.
