I am not talking about abuse here so please don't think that. I am talking about using a physical restraint instead of teaching your child to behave.
A car seat is needed because when you drive to protect your child in an accident. You cannot control the cars around you. The car seat is not made to keep your child under control although it does work for that purpose.
You should be able to teach your child to behave without it becoming physical. You should not have to restrain your child so you don't have to pay attention to what they are doing.
I find these "easy" fixes to be the problem we are having with parenting today. Playstation or Xbox so you can get some house work done, TV in their room so you can watch what you want to watch, internet so that you can have some peace and quiet, child leash so you can shop in peace and not have to worry about where your kids are going, pagers and cell phones so that you can get in touch with your child instead of teaching your child to check in and always knowing where they are at, and there are more things like this that are taking away from our children what we should be teaching them.
Just my opinion.
