The babyseat example is one where there would be an obvious age bias to the policy, making it illegal due to age discrimination.

Age discrimination laws are strange- you are free to discriminate against people because they are too young, but not because they are too old.

I'm not sure that's the case. When my apartment complex back in the late 80s was forced to accept families with children, it was because of discrimination in housing against people of child-bearing age. Those are not the old. Regardless, let's use hair picks then. Much more liable to be in a black person's car than a white one's.
