My brother and I.
Early 80's.

We are alive only because we didn't get in an accident, I think (or fall off a table).

We had the same carseats... All 4 of us kids used them. We were born in 80, 81, 85, 87 and I remember my little brother just wearing the seatbelt over his lap. Not havin the seatbelt routed through the back and using the straps. One time someone forgot to strap the seatbelt and my dad stopped at the stop sign down the road from our house and he slid out.

I remember the seat in the top pic was a soft plastic like a laundry basket, my Aunt rented them from the hospital when she had my cousins.

A long time ago, classicseats posted a report from 1978 or so examining severe crashes in which child restraints were used. There were some fatalities, but the most fascinating part of the study was how well those "antiquated" (by today's standards) seats performed.

Still better to just never have been in a crash, though.
