I have never seen a manual advise to watch the light while driving, only to check the light after forest installing the seat.

I'm also concerned by the fact that most parents DON'T read their manuals and won't know you can't put a baby there. Sure, fine to say it's their responsibility, but we have studies showing people don't read manuals in large numbers. So we need to be protecting kids from parents' mistakes by making things obvious and simple, as well as educating.

"Sorry, officer, I didn't see the red light. I was too busy checking the air bag status light."

Yeah, it's a bit ridiculous eh?

Did people realize that this was going to sunset the same way that people realized the lockability standard had a sunset?
eta: I realize that the sunset was removed on the lockability standard, but I know it took some complaints to have it removed.
