When it comes to car seats the debate over whether or not they should be charged for often pops up. While some people claim that it’s not right to charge for something that is essential for safety others argue that it’s a necessary cost in order to keep the business running. So what’s the verdict?
Here’s a look at both sides of the argument:
For:
Some people argue that car seats are a essential safety item and as such should not be charged for. After all you wouldn’t charge for a seat belt so why charge for a car seat?
Others argue that it’s not fair to those who have to pay for car seats. After all they’re already spending a lot of money on a car and adding on the cost of a car seat can be a real burden.
Against:
On the other hand some people argue that car seats are a business expense and as such they should be charged for. After all businesses have to charge for other items that are essential for their operation so why not car seats?
Others argue that it’s not fair to those who don’t need car seats. After all they’re already spending a lot of money on a car and adding on the cost of a car seat can be a real burden.
So what’s the verdict?
It’s really up to you to decide whether or not you think car seats should be charged for. What do you think?
