One day our eldest was getting ready to pull out of the drive when my husband asked her about the belt.

I was a passenger in the back seat of a car when the driver hit a median on an icy road. I held my 3 month old son flat down on the seat as we skidded and the next thing I knew, I woke up in a hospital. My son slept through it all and was ok, but I ended up with a ruptured spleen and a fractured skull.Sharon Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178652815840919077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-5588572208915411612012-02-11T18:23:59.209-05:002012-02-11T18:23:59.209-05:00It seems foolish and unkind to not put seat belts ...It seems foolish and unkind to not put seat belts on, both on your children and on yourself. You would only be offering sadness if no seatbelts were used. I don't see how a safety device could be considered against religious views.

I was living in Ohio when an Amish man filed a lawsuit challenging the law that deer hunters have to wear bright orange (vest, cap, etc.) I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure the Ohio Supreme Court said "Wear the orange or stop hunting."

Lack of seatbelt. In some state only front passenger but not in back. I require EVERYBODY to wear. Where I live, it is required for babies to be in rear facing seat which I latch into latch inside seat (not simply buckled in, seatbelt is not THAT reliable).
