" Whoever wrote the comments about how and what amish do is there own belief. They know the consequences of what could happen to them just like other people know the consequences of getting into a car and not wearing a seatbelt. Everyone from each ethnicity of life has different lifestyles, and its not write to degrade other lifestyles of people. They are people like anyone else is and has there own beliefs and lifestyles. Have some compassion for people that have been in a tragic accident instead of making crude comments. "

" Pack, why such animosity toward the Amish? Your comments sound very bitter, which is unecessary when we're blogging about an unfortunate accident. I happen to know many Amish and I can guarantee you that they know what it means to work to support themselves, their families and their community. We stupid English pay the government for that. "

" Well I am a driver for Amish and know for a fact if the driver wants them to use car seats and or seat belts the majority of them will.
Why do our people have to make a joke out of a serious matter.
The Amish work hard for what they have, and don't rely on welfare, Social Security or other subsides our people do. "

" Onawom1-How do you know whether or not the Amish use child or infant seats? Are you Amish? Have you hung around with them long enough to make such a blanketed statement? It was an accident that unfortunately ended in the loss of life. Show some compassion. "

" All the occupants of the van were Amish? Even the driver? Have they changed their beliefs? The Amish I know are not permitted to operate any motor vehicle.

" Some do and some don't. When you have a big family like most of them, it's hard to fit that many car seats and adults in a vehicle to haul everyone someplace. Yes, I know what the law says, that all children under the age of 6 are suppose to be restrained. I see many of our people with unrestrained children, also. "

" How horrible. I feel so bad for all involved.
Does anyone know if the Amish use infant and child seats for their children when they travel in cars? "
