I grew up in an environment where "only your grandma wears a seatbelt" was the prevailing mentality. I'm still not great about remembering to belt up when I first start the car. Of course it's a different world for my kids. They've had seatbelts from day one and buckling up as soon as they get in the car is as natural as breathing.
In fact the one time I did NOT want my son (age 13) to wear a seatbelt he was anxious and uncomfortable without it. It bodes well for the future.
