As a piece of anecdata—car seats entered into the vague morass of my decisionmaking on a 3rd, but were dominated by daycare costs—as I expect they would be for most families that rely on paid childcare for under 5s. While I don’t know for sure that carseats didn’t affect our decision, I know that carseat mandates did not. I wasn’t even aware that my state had an insane mandate until reading this post.
