If fitting a seat into the car is so troublesome why to install a seat at all? In such way you not only save several inches but even more. Thanks to that you can save more space. A car seat for children is only recently invented from what I understand. It can't be mandatory to use, can it?

Do you live in the USA? Yes, carseats for children are required by law. They have been around for 30 years or so. Seatbelts are also required by law for adults in almost every single state.

Wait till you get a convertible type car seat when your baby gets older but is still rear facing. I am currently going through these. They don't need to be leaned back as far but the car seats are bigger. We had the first car seat inspected and they warned us that the car seat shouldn't touch the front seats at all. Which even in the middle position the car seat slightly touched both driver and passenger front seats.

No, you can't avoid using a car seat. Not in the US. Neither should you. There is a reason car seats were invented, you know. I think you actually have to use them in St. Petersburg as well. It's just that we all saw Russian crash videos so if car seats for children are supposed to be used there, so I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't in reality, and that's why you had to ask something like that.

Some older folks people could say they were just fine back when they were "tiny crying brats" without any car seats, hell, I know my grandpa often says how he didn't even use seat belts because they weren't a thing back then, and how he's apparently fine now. He survived, he says it all the time.

Well, MOST babies will indeed survive riding unrestrained or without a car seat. But MOST babies will never be in a car crash. Of those who will be... Let's just say a car seat increases the survival chances of the baby and without them we'd have a much higher annual death toll, and leave it at that.

Babies are not mini-adults. They are not nearly as tough as we are. Even if you simply install a car seat in the forward-facing position prematurely, that might have very severe consequences. Just check this out: .

I think that you don't have children yet. And that's that. It's all hypothetical to you now, and that is why you take it so lightly. Even if you are not required to use a car seat by law where you live, you would still be willing to if you had a child.
