Things that have been put in place to keep us safe may be part of the problem. Its not easy to forget something when you can look it right in the eye. This stuff didnt happen years ago.

I don't know about that. In the pre-internet/24-7 news cycle days we didn't hear about local events like this very much at all. We have more access to news stories like this now, which may make them seem more common than they used to be. Having said that, I do agree that mandated car seats are probably a contributing factor now. That, and too many people allowing themselves to become overloaded mentally & physically in today's hectic lifestyle.

Yes then have a pop up sign with a whistle noise that wont shut down until you remove the child from the car! Wouldnt it be easier to turn the carrier around facing front so all can see one another. Worked for decades and no the death rate for them wasnt any higher.

This act is negligent homicide at a minimum.
