[Not talking about IBM and I never give legal advice.] You will want to check your state's motor vehicle and traffic safety laws. In New York state, safety seats are required only if you *operate* the car and is not, as you suggest, limited only to *registered* vehicles. Of course, if the car is not being operated, then all of the other civil and criminal liability laws would still apply. (Think refrigerator with door still attached.) But at the same time, you can't just buy a car and drive it around your own property without a driver's license (in NY). Even farmers have to be licensed to operate tractors. Point: Don't assume. Find out.
