Does your state require use of seat belts in all seats?

In MN, just the driver and front passenger side. I just took a car seat safety class and found out the people who don't wear seat belts in any seat can hurt the baby in an accident. People are deadly projectiles.

At any speed, you AND the vehicle are traveling at the same speed.

In a crash, the vehicle will suddenly stop or change direction depending on how the vehicles strike each other.

E = MC^2
An object in motion (YOU) stays in motion unless effected by an outside force (You hitting the interior and other people in the vehicle).

In short..while the state may not require it, it is in your best interest to have EVERYONE buckle up. You in the driver seat and a passenger sitting in the back behind you .........if you get into an accident and the person behind you is not buckled up, that passenger may be ejected from their seat and come flying forward into you causing you and them significant injury.
