Car seats are obligatory in most of the Western world.
The majority of the world will look at the laws, and science, and say "yes, car seats save lives because it has been tested with a car seat a child will not be thrown around the car when the car crashes."
There will be very little people admitting not using a car seat in public. Because then they will admit to jeopardizing the safety of their children.
For future questions: add your own thoughts and why you are asking a question.
That helps starting a conversation or a discussion.
