The first instance of a child restraint in a vehicle was in 1898. This early device was little more than a bag with a drawstring that could attach to the car seat. It was really only meant to keep children from getting up or falling off their seats when a car was in motion.
It wasn’t until the 1930s that car designers came up with a working model of an infant or child car seat. The seat was designed (once again!) to hold children in place while a vehicle was in motion. It was not designed to keep a child safe in the event of an accident, however, and that is an important point of difference.
Members of the medical community, consumer groups, safety seat manufacturers, and insurance companies among others got together and showed the general public that safety seats for children were a necessary device for keeping their children alive in the case of a collision.
They also managed to convince various levels of governments, and some states started passing laws requiring the use of safety seats for young children. Tennessee was the first state to do so, and between 1978 and 1985 every single state was to follow suit. There has been little backlash toward these laws, as the general populace sees safety seats as a necessary precaution. |

It was in the late 70's I think. |

1978 Tennessee became the first state to require their use, though the law specified a number of exceptions, such as permitting adults to hold small children in their laps. Within a decade, all 50 states and the District of Columbia passed laws mandating some form of child restraint in automobiles. |
