During a Senate committee hearing in 2023, Sen. JD Vance said “there’s evidence that the car seat rules that we’ve imposed ... have driven down the number of babies born in this country by over 100,000.'
During a Senate hearing in 2023, JD Vance suggested rules governing use of car seats were partly to blame for a decline in birthrates in the United States. WASHINGTON -- Comments made by Ohio Sen. JD Vance during a Senate committee hearing last year, in which he appeared to blame car seat regulations for contributing to the decline in America’s birthrate, have gained attention on social media this week.
But these remarks were made in March 2023, as the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, heard testimony on proposals to enhance consumer protections in air transportation.The union was advocating for new Federal Aviation Administration mandates requiring children under the age of 2 to be restrained in special seats during flights.
He noted that a long flight with a young child strapped into a seat for hours would be “torture for everybody” and perhaps not worth the headaches to parents given that airline incidents are so infrequent.“One thing that I really worry about, and I think both Democrats and Republicans should worry about, is we have some real demographic problems in our country, Vance said. “American families aren’t having enough children.
“Seriously if a decent car seat didn’t cost $100 then I could afford $24,000/year for daycare AND a $400,000 house,”
