I wanted to put this where you'd all see it.Its a very good example of why Car Seats are very necessary and DO have an impact on the safety of children in accidents

This link is of a US Traffic Accident report where a car went off the road across the central reservation and hit a couple of trees.
In the car were the driver, 24 and her 5 children aged 0 to 5.
All but two children were in Carseats, her 2yo son and 5yo daughter were not, both were ejected from the car on impact. The boy died at the scene, the girl sustained critical injuries.
The other three children recieved only minor/moderate injuries and will survive.
Still think the law is unecessary or that statistically they don't have much of an effect in a crash?
