Child car seats were not common in the United States until the late 1960's or early 1970's and they were much different from the child car seats you see today.

Seat belts were not all that popular until the late 50's to mid 60's. Car manufacturers were resistant to the added cost of providing anchors and belts and customers didn't necessarily use them when the seat belts were available, so the offering of seat belts as an option went through fits and starts. By 1965, all states had laws requiring only front seat lap belts, so there likely would not have been any standard way to secure a child car seat much earlier than that. I remember my parents insisting the dealer install front and rear lap belts in our '57 Chevy. When we were driving places, my baby brother was either in a basinette or held in someone's arms.
