One wonders which is more dangerous, riding a few miles in a car without a
seatbelt (or kiddie seat), or flying in a light aircraft?

I think that's a fair question. But the risk of each is controllable, and
the risk of riding in the car can be reduced to practically no significant
risk of fatal injury with the proper precautions. It's silly to not take
those precautions, just as it's silly to not take the precautions that help
keep a flight in a light aircraft from being as risky as the overall 4 in
100,000 hours fatal accident rate would otherwise indicate (or whatever the
fatal rate is these days).
