Certain things that grandparents do are quite irritating, while others are downright unsafe. While car seat rules have changed significantly over the past half-century, that’s not an excuse for grandparents to decide that safely tightened straps or a rear facing seat simply aren’t necessary—and they shouldn’t be surprised if they don’t get to drive with their grandkids in the car if those rules are ignored.
