infant car seat

I was told, when I lived in the US, that infants are likely to be crushed by the parent when they are in a sudden decelleration (sp?), and that the FAA now require approved car seats for all infants. The agent told me that the crash landing in Sioux City lead to the changes, as no infants survived this, although many adults did. Could be a load of nonsense to make me buy a seat for the child seat mind you.
