[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDI7U1ckMx8"]YouTube- Caught In The Middle - The Dangers of Lap Belt Only Restraint Systems.wmv[/ame]
Its a news report and it shows a lap only dummy being cut into 2

My sil keeps her dd in a booster in lap only or shoulder belt behind her. The other day she was in lap only with out her booster and its law here now for her age. Just now hit 4 and over 40lb been in a booster since a little before 3 when she got too tall for the harness and since she decided she didnt like the harness anymore. I have talked til Im blue about it but they are not changeing
Its about to freaking drive me insane.

I do not ride with them what so ever now nor do I let my dd ride unless I put the seat in a lock the belt and I know they are going to the house and not anywhere else where she is getting out of the seat and then back in.

Whould a 8 yr old understand this video as well. My aunt lets her 8 yr old ride in nothing and half the time puts the shoulder belt behind her so its the same thing as a lap only.

What makes me more mad is that the aunt and my dd grandma both work at a hospital. The one with the 8 yr old at a kids and have seen kids come in from wrecks with out a seat or lap only.

Great video! I'm thinking this must've been around for a while b/c I thought that 09 vehicles and newer had to have lap/shoulder belts in all spots.

Yep, MY '08 and newer vehicles must have center lap/shoulder belts per Anton's Law.
