I don't know. I honestly rarely ever sit in the back and when I do it's usually for a quick trip. Not an excuse, I know.

I guess because when we were little there was an age when you didn't have to anymore, so I guess it's a type of "coming of age" thing I have since I was little.

I probably should though....

I'm hardly ever in the back seat of a car - and when I am, I just don't.

Re: For the people who don't wear seatbelts in the back seat...

If I don't it's usually because it's broken, it's stuffed in the seat and we're only going for a quick trip, or there are too many people in the back. But that's rare.

as for the 'why do i?' question.

Because if there is an accident, I don't want to fly through the windshield.

Why do I always wear a seatbelt in the backseat? Because I know it takes one split second that could forever change your life if you don't. I've been in too many accidents myself, and I represent too many people who are either dead, or paralyzed due to NOT wearing a seatbelt while sitting in the backseat, to not wear one. Most accidents occur on suburban roads, close to your home, where you feel the most secure, when you really shouldn't. And especially so now that I have a daughter. I want to be around and in the best health to take care of her, and be a good role model in making responsible decisions.

For the same reason I wear one in the front seat- to save my life in an accident.

Why do you think the back seat is any safer than the front?? Chat Icon

agreeed.

And, because any "object" that's not buckled down, can serve as a lethal weapon in a car accident (studies have shown that other passengers- ones sitting in the front seat; buckled in- were actually killed by the impact of the person flying at them from the back seat.. who wasn't buckled in).

Actually i could be totally wrong on this, but i think that the back seat IS safer than the front seat. in the front seat you can go flying thru the windshield. I try to remember to wear my seatbelt on the very few occassions I am in the back, but to be honest, sometimes i just forget. Wearing your seatbelt in the back seat was just never encouraged growing up.

What i find even more insane is that we all rode the school bus without seatbelts on! How unsafe was that????

OMG, I COMPLETELY agree. And to think, when I was growing up, I was involved in at least 3 accidents I can remember while riding the schoolbus! Chat Icon

I know a girl that was riding in the backseat of a car without a seatbelt on that flew through the sunroof.

If you don't want to wear it for your own safety, think about your body becomming the projectile that kills one of the front seat passengers.

That is my little mary sunshine moment for today. :)

I usually do wear a seatbelt in the back seat. I haven't been in the back seat in a while ( I usually drive) but most of the time its on.
