[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 506748, member: 6705"] I had to start doing this, too - for 2 reasons. Early on, Jett would unbuckle his as we turned into the driveway. Having witnessed an accident as a child, where the driver turned into their driveway and then instead of hitting the brake, FLOORED the gas, this is major for me. A friend of mine (in the accident, [I]front[/I] seat, BELTED IN) had minor injuries - the house and car were a mess - and the driver (not belted in) was in hospital for months. So, I started a controlled "sudden stop" whenever he would do this. The way my car is built, you must open the front doors before the back doors will open - so anyone in the back seat was stuck till whoever re-buckled their belt. Then later, Onyxx decided to not wear her belt at all. As a result, I decided not to take her anywhere - because she's a minor, I'm an adult and I could be arrested for child endangerment. Nope, she got to wear a belt or she went nowhere. (And, yes, she tried taking it off surreptitiously... I have excellent hearing though.) [/QUOTE]
