Childhood obesity isn't just a US problem -- it's a global epidemic.In Australia, children are so fat that they don't fit into their car seats (the source article calls them "booster seats"). Researchers in Melbourne found that of the children who meet the height requirement (i.e. are short enough to sit in a car seat), 40% of them are too heavy.
Yikes.
And what's even more alarming is that parents are putting their kids in the car anyway using the regular seatbelts, which could do more harm to kids than good. For now, Australian researchers are calling for bigger seats to accommodate the bigger children, but how about Australia, and the US, work on getting kids to a healthy weight that fits?
