This is true. Sadly, many parents have to be prompted to take reasonable precautions. Re: the boy in the video. I think the video is giving the false impression that if only he was in a Britax he wouldn't have died. That may or may not be true. Like the thread you linked to said, he wasn't even in the booster seat properly. I know that if my three year old were in a seat that he could unbuckle he probably would. I think a better campaign would prompt parents to check for proper fit and weight limits. But there may have been absolutely nothing that would have saved his life.

That doesn't mean that others shouldn't take those same precautions though.
