Sometimes, I wonder what the societal costs of the ever increasing car seat requirements are.
I wouldn't want a third kid just because I don't want to deal with carseats anymore.

You're referring to the studies that show people have less children due to car seat laws but this article also covers some of the other consequences: https://ifstudies.org/blog/this-item-in-your-back-seat-might...
I'm so sick of this sentiment. Do people actually believe or is it just some weird excuse?
You can buy special car seats that can fit 3 across even in the smallest cars of Europe.

By the time you had your third, would the oldest still even be in a carseat?
But even then, three car seats is doable even in small cars: https://www.jefftk.com/p/three-car-seats
Most likely still in a backless booster which means you need a bigger back seat.
You can easily get backless boosters in the 15" width range, which will go three-across without issue in any car that has three rear seats.
I meant that I do not want to deal with taking a kid in and out of car seats, or traveling with car seats, or taking them in and out of cars, for more years of my life.
