As the wife of a former law enforcement officer and mom of 5, I agree with the child safety seats. I've seen way too many pictures of mangled babies who were ejected from a vehicle because they were strapped in with an adult-sized seat belt. I've also seen kids survive who were ejected in a car seat. It's a pain sometimes, but the seats and seatbelts were designed for adults, thus the need for car seats for little people.
