We just had to throw a very good car seat away. I had not realized this, but the FDA puts expiration dates on the car seats. No charities or 2nd hand stores are allowed to take them, and there are even rules against it on social Media.

@George-K said in Car Seats as Contraception:
Consistent with a causal channel, this effect is limited to third child births, is concentrated in households with access to a car, and is larger when a male is present (when both front seats are likely to be occupied).
Are they actually trying to say that the chances of having a third child are lower when a male is present?

Smaller backseats help as contraception in other ways, too.

Not just the FDA. I believe expiration on children’s car seats is present throughout the developed world.

A friend once told me that the # of kids parents believe would make life easy is N - 1, where N is the actual number of kids you currently have. LOL

Not just the parents. When my son was about 2 and my daughter was a baby, he turned to us and said very politely and solemnly, 'I think we should take her back to the hospital now'.

When we told our 3 daughters that we were expecting a fourth, D1 (she was 4 at the time, iirc) said, "NO! Three is enough."
