Movies are an artifact of the time in which they are made. It can be somewhat jarring to watch a movie today that relies on landline telephones or doesn’t include the existence of the internet. However, a recent viral social media post has people discussing something else that has changed drastically over the years: child car seat laws.
A pair of Twitter posts has both gone viral recently regarding Disney’s 1998 remake of The Parent Trap. The first brought attention to what it called a “plot hole” that a viewer's kids were blown away by, a very young Lindsay Lohan sitting in the front seat of a car while talking to her on-screen dad, Dennis Quaid. A second tweet that has blown up on its own didn’t seem to understand what the issue was.
