Yes, the laws are for age one. But it is still.safest.to do extended rear facing. And remember up until a few years ago there wasnt any car seat laws

My kids had to be in a carseat when they were born and that was almost 20 years ago. My nieces who are 30 always were in carseats back in the 80's.

I know my parents put me in a carseat but not like today carseats but that was in the days of horse and buggies!::

Thats good. i guess it depends on the state. my mom used to tell me how they drove around with me on her lap. and i rememher being in my grams old nova. there was only two sewt belts. so id sit in the middle and one brother wouod extend his sewt belt over me to the far clip and my other brother would do the same and thats how i sat. and i was little. by todays standards my and my brothers prob should have been in booster seats.

Tye thing with laws is that many ppl have to be injuried or die before they change them. its like when the city wont be in a stop light until there is a really bad accident and then they do something about it. i
