“Since 1977, U.S. states have⟳ passed laws steadily raising the age for which a child must ride⟳ in a car safety seat. These laws significantly raise⟳ the cost⟳ of having a third child, as many regular-sized cars cannot fit three child seats in the back... We estimate⟳ that these laws prevented only 57 car crash⟳ fatalities of children nationwide in 2017. Simultaneously, they led to a permanent reduction of approximately 8,000 births in the same year, and 145,000 fewer births since 1980, with 90% of this decine being since 2000.”
