Not a serious thread - I'm just wondering if I am a little nuts, as my husband suggests
When deciding where to sit my children in the car, I refuse to put the child lock on and sit my older child (5 years old, so not in any way mature) on the opposite side to me so that my son is behind me. I do this so if I need to get out of the car in an emergency (THINK: Car about to explode or broken down on the railway crossing) I can get myself out, get my DS out (who is just a baby) and my DD can get herself out. We can then all be away from the car in the quickest possible time. It also means that if I stop on the hard shoulder, my DD is on the side of the embankment, not the motorway. Hence I can get my son out, walk around the car carrying him, open her door and walk to the embankment with minimal fuss.
So am I nuts or have others thought of these things? Perhaps I have just watched too many action films as a child.
