Today, getting a properly sized child car seat is nearly as tedious as getting tailored for a new suit. One estimate we found on a Disney site claimed that “only half of all children under the age of four were riding in car seats” by 1984. In fact, many of us who were kids and who grew up in the 60s and 70s don’t even remember using car seats, since they weren’t specifically required by law back then. It’s not surprising either that the main function of the first child car seats was specifically to help give little ones better visibility, rather than a safe passage. Then it took nearly three decades, depending on who you source, for car seats for kids to even come on the scene. Automobiles came on the scene shortly after the turn of the century in 1908 with the Ford Motor Company’s Model T, which was one of the first mass produced cars. Obviously, it took a little while for car seat designs in the United States dedicated for children to catch up with the kind of energy and advancements put into cars themselves.
