My friends 3yr died last year going for a trip to the local shop with her granddad ( that hurts my heart to type that sentence). My friend didnt even know her dad had taken her out, the crash wasnt his fault,but if she was properly restrained she would have lived. There is no excuse these days for not having kids in proper restraints. Yes as kids we werent, but the world is very different, cars/society/attitude to speed is all so very different. You did the right thing, why people feel the need to put childrens lives at risk for the sake of saving a few minutes is beyond me.
