Another government plan gone wrong combined with working moms who have no child care habits.
Working moms used to be allowed to talk to their children in the front seat on the way to daycare.
The government and the Feminists decided that was too much contact so they moved the kids out-of-sight-out-of-mind.
SPOT ON!
I never put my kids in the backseat. Driving to my new home in Detroit from Cleveland, my four day old daughter was put in the back. I heard her start to choke and nearly cracked up trying to get to her.
My DH disabled the front passenger airbag and both children eventually rode up with me.
In my car, people in the back seat can talk to people in the front seat, and vice versa.
