When I was a kid, seat belts didn't exist at all. My parents had an alternative, every new car they bought they immediately had the seats custom covered with clear plastic. In the summer, when it was hot (no AC back then either) you didn't have to worry about it because your bare legs were always firmly stuck to the plastic.I didn’t need to wear a seatbelt as a kid either. I do remember when it became a law in NY. I was probably 10 or a tad older and just was annoyed that I now needed to wear a seat belt. Today I won’t drive anywhere without one and my kids always have theirs on. Still have my youngest in a booster even. She is 58 pounds and I am a tad over protective.
