Two angry mothers are arguing about whether it's safer to put their babies in seat belts and car seats or whether it's better to hold them when they are passengers.
Angry Mom #1: There's no way you would have the reflexes to cover your baby in a collision. Plus you can never anticipate when you're going to be in a crash. I give my baby the proper love and attention by putting him in a car seat where I know he'll be safe.
VS.
Angry Mom #2: I really think it's much safer that when I am a passenger in a car, I can hold my baby instead of subject her to uncomfortable straps and belts. I am perfectly capable of restraining her and I can cover and protect her if their is any danger. A seat belt can't do that!
Angry Mom #1: NO! no, no, no, Statistics prove that those ejected in a crash are four times more likely to die. The forces in a crash can be hundreds of pounds or much more, too great for someone to hold a child safely. Plus, the reaction time needed in a crash makes it virtually impossible to restrain another passenger. It is far easier to escape a vehicle if you don't suffer the serious head and chest injuries associated with crashes where seat belts aren't used.
Now that they know this information they are both happy moms:
