Not sure what you are refering to in this post. I am not making "rules" for toddlers. Just pointing out they aren't "safe" belted in a golf cart. I alslo clearly stated that TV safety clinic specifically stated belts aren't recommended and they should not be mandatory.

As for injuries in golf carts, this site is full of examples of residents being seriously injured in golf cart accidents. Even the less than informative Daily Sun mentions some of the golf cart accidents on occasions. I guess after 30 years in a golf cart community there is a lot of stuff you can't remember.
