I'm reading an article in UT they are doing a 'Saved by the Belt' campaign.

I really have to remind myself to not read all the comments, of course, I always get curious. It has me grinding my teeth at peoples pure stupidity. Everyone is going off that seat belts don't save lives, they trap you in the car, yadda, yadda. Sure, maybe there's that 1% chance a seatbelt makes things worse but heck, I'm going to take my 99% chance of survival and buckle up!
Babysitting my sisters 3 kids the past 2 weeks (ages 6, 4, and 2) has had me fuming at my sister. They aren't made to wear their seatbelts. I can't tell you how big of a fight it has been between me and the kids getting them to buckle up, and properly. I can't tell you how many times I've pulled over on the freeway and elsewhere because they unbuckled. I flat out refuse to drive them that way. It's hard enough not to fix their poorly installed carseats.
