[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 23165, member: 1697"] I was extremely lucky, cuz all 3 of my kids LIKED being in car seats and strollers, too. I kept them all in car seats with considerable ease, and seat belt use was not a problem for us, either, and LOL my kids tell friends who g et in my car I am not even starting the car till they are buckled. a couple kids have gotten out. I did not used to wear a seat belt. Not even after it was made law. Then one day I got a ticket and had to go to seat belt school. yeesh. But I did not want to pay the insane $$ for another, so I began to wear my seat belt, and WOW! Not long after, I was the middle of a car accident (in my 2 week old new car) where an SUV hit me from behind and sent me flying into another SUV in front of me while we all were waiting at down train gates for a train to go thru. WHEW, I was really glad I had my seat belt on that day! ANd I prolly wouldn't have had it on if I had not so recently gotten the ticket. Yes, as our kids grew, seat belts and car seats changed, rules changed etc. It kept us busy keeping up with seat belt laws and it also kept us busy cuz when all 3 kids had to be in car seats and none could be in front seat it was hard to find a car we could afford that fit all 3 car seats! My husband jeep has a switch so you can disengage the front seat airbags. My now almost 17 yr easy child has only recently become the weight for her to ride in front seat. and my now 11 soon to be 12 son has just recently hit the weight to not need a booster seat. I know here on occasion the tickets they write are not for no car seat but for child endangerment. YIKES. When my oldest was finally old enough/weighed enough to no longer require a car seat, she cried for weeks, asking if we no longer loved her. And my extreme good luck also held for a stroller. We used a double stroller until youngest was 9 years old! LOL. I never took the kids anywhere unless they were secured in the stroller. and- they STAYED in it, never tried to climb out. I used that thing EVERYWHERE. LOL, the kids commented last summer they wish we still could use it, ROFL, yeah right, they are now 18, 17 and 12! My 9 year old did ride on back of my electric scooter while I still needed that. I still do not know why when we went to school or scout things my kids did not follow their peers and go running around, but they stayed in the stroller for me. I think that would be horrible to have to go to court on a ticket for something like this. I wish I had an answer for how to keep a kid in their car seat. I wish you luck with the ticket. [/QUOTE]
