Family Size and Car Seat Laws

A 2020 paper proposed a theory that fewer families are having three children due to car seat laws. These laws, which require car seats to be used for longer periods, make it difficult to fit three car seats in a car, leading to a 0.73 percentage point drop in families with three children. The theory suggests that the inconvenience of fitting three car seats is a contributing factor to this trend.
