#1 on the list of things that should never be said in 'Murrica.
However, a little bit of the law of unintended consequences has seeped in here. First, as far as I know, all states require that young kids be strapped into car seats. I've watched young mothers - okay, full-disclosure- I was mainly looking at their asses - trying to get kids in or out of one of these car seats and it is not a 10 second operation. You practically need to be an engineer to do it right and if you do it wrong, why bother? Second, those same laws also require that the "safety seat" go in the back of the car and are installed facing the back of the car.
All of this increases the "I'll only be a moment" factor and then people get distracted. Some people are very easily distracted. Shit happens.
