The first state laws requiring child safety seats -- passed in 1978 -- not only protected young passengers, they also stimulated the market for the seats themselves. Automakers, baby products companies and toy manufacturers all got into the safety seat business at various times. This 1988 advertisement promotes the comfort and convenience of a seat produced by toymaker Fisher-Price.
