I never buy any of these, “Honey, I forgot the kids” death scenarios. Unless the child is riding in the back of a box truck, how do you leave your child ? I don’t buy it, nope, not for a second.
Change in routine coupled with rear-facing car seats and parental exhaustion (common enough with parents of young kids) make a potentially lethal cocktail that cause me to suspend judgment.
Rear facing carseats kill.
They also save lives.
But it is a percentage game and bureaucrats, lawmakers, and cops should STFU.
