The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

A recent study has lead child safety seat makers to produce larger car seats for obese children.

It has been determined that more than a quarter million US children from 1-6 are heavier than the weight limits for standard car seats, and using inadequate seats could put kids at risk for injury in a car accident.

So, manufacturers have put out a heftier model for larger children. And, they have created them with the requirement to protect kids up to 10 years old and/or weighing 80 pounds in 30 mph crashes.

Ya, I'm sure this is the solution.

Don't feed the kids a normal amount of healthy food or anything.

And, don't exercise your infant or child.

No.

Enlarge that car seat and keep feeding it McCr*ppy fast food.

One parent commented on the supersized child seat, "it's like a La-Z-Boy recliner".

Ya, that's great.

La-Z-Boys for toddlers. Way to care about your kids' future by making them fat and lazy early on.

And, where the f*ck is our society heading that we need safety seats for 10 year old children?

Obsessive much?

I was pretty much embarrassed putting the 5 year old I nanny in a car seat: embarrassed for the kid who's treated like a baby and for myself having to put a grown child in a flippin' car seat.

10 years frickin' old, though!

I don't f*ckin' think so.

When I was a kid, I was sometimes either on my dad's lap helping him steer the bloody car, or I was lying down in the back seat with the middle belt loosely strapped around me.

I'M A-FRICKIN'-LIVE TODAY, AREN'T I?

Retards.
