It's because everyone is driving their kids around in the most remarkable of unsafe fashions.
In a space of 4 hours free of dd:
1) Child barely 30lbs in backless booster in front seat of truck.
2) 5-6 year old in front seat of older model car with the regulation strangle 3pt seatbelt. His toddler sis was in the backseat in some sort of harness :thumbsup:, but after her mom unharnessed her, she jumped out of it and I could see the entire thing shift 3-4 inches forward & back.
3) 5-7yr old Child sitting on his knees in front seat with the 3pt over him. His dad opened the truck door next to me. Just freaky bizzare.
I won't mention all the little kids using 3pt or lap belts or roaming free in the back seats Too many to count.
The winner of the "WTF are you thinking in TX?" prize today goes to (drum roll please):
The mother who has her little daughter (all I could see was pigtails) in a 5pt harness IN the front seat near the dash in a newer model SUV equipped with airbags. Kid could probably have been still rear facing. I had the impression of baby over child.
Oh, and I'm not sure how it was attached. Is there LATCH in front seats? The 3pt seatbelt was unused. I could see it hanging by the door. But the seat was fastened in there somehow to not budge. She was more concerned about her makeup than her kid's seating placement.
How I could be so nosy? I was sitting in my car talking with my mom on the cell phone for about 40 minutes at Walmart... then later, eating lunch in my car & reading at the Mall parking lot. People driving in and out of the spots around me.
Don't they care about their kids? Yeesh.
