Yes, the data clearly support the contention that In the US, for 
babies under 1 year old, many more deaths occur because of not 
breastfeeding than because of anything having to do with car seat 
usage.  Even if you consider all fatalities (both so-called 
restrained and not) the number of deaths attributed to not being 
breastfed is still larger than the number of motor vehicle fatalities.

And of course Diane Wiessinger is correct, that looking only at 
babies up to 1 year old is a small part of the picture.  We all know 
that many illnesses which occur more frequently in the artificially 
fed do not manifest until later in life.  I would not be surprised if 
deaths from artificial feeding continue to outnumber motor vehicle 
fatalities throughout the lifespan.  (Now who's going to collect 
those numbers??)
