Doesn't this study say that it had a very low impact?

> they led to a permanent reduction of approximately 8,000 births in the same year, and 145,000 fewer births since 1980



The paper also estimates the number of children saved at 57 per year, so the safety impact is even lower


Let's call it 80 and you get a rate of 1:100 children saved per children not conceived. What would be a reasonable rate in your mind?


Car seat design has improved you can readily fit three car seats in most vehicles these days


This is a weirdly funny thread. How many theoretical children would you trade for 1 real child? All over a car seat that perhaps prevented 4,000 additional births a year?
