Fed them real infant rice cereal before they were 3 months old; so they would sleep through the nights. Amazing .. we all lived through it ...
My parents never had a child seat for me, I used to sleep in the back of the station wagon when we went on vacations.

But alas so much has changed since my childhood; my kids' childhood and my granddaughters childhood and will continue to change for many years as Science and Medicine becomes more progressive.
