This is just information, not a mandate. As parent, and a grandparent, let me be the first to say that as parents we don't decide the level of safety precautions we will take for our own children in the dark. We use information like this to make our determinations, and it's welcome.
....and such information is very often written as law, sooner or later.
Most intelligent reply in this thread, well done.
People act like anyone who troubles themselves over safety are automatically liberal, somehow, like it's a conservative value to eat glass. You survived your youth, unbelted in the back or front of your mom's country squire in spite of their ignorance or stupidity.
We know better nowadays.
