I often wonder how I survived growing up in the 1970s. No baby seats, no seat belts, mom smoking while driving, etc.

Tell me about it. I used to ride the armrest in the front seat. I would crack up laughing when I got flung in to the backseat at a hard stop.

2b,
So very true.

When I was a tiny young stud (3, 4) I sometimes travelled laying across the front benchseat with my head in mommy's lap.

A little older, I rode with my back against the passenger door, facing my mother. Til the door gave one day and I landed in the road on my back. Not long after I took the dashboard taste test in a little fender bender.

Through it all seat belt use was unknown.
