My parents didn’t have cars with seatbelts until I was 10. Stood in a crib in the back of the Corvair until I was 3. I can’t imagine trying to get a teen into a booster seat.

We used to crawl up onto the deck above the rear seats on our big 1959 Ford Fairlane.

Heck, I didn't have seatbelts until I installed them in my car myself when I was 19. As a kid in the '50s, I remember my brother and I flying around inside my Mother's Nash Rambler when another car hit us. Only race cars had seatbelts back then.

Oh, yeah! I remember my dad's 59 Chevy convertible with those "batwing" tail fins. Had a 348, nothing short of a Corvette could outrun it. No seat belts going like a bat out of hell down the NY Thruway. Good times! :)
