shocked at some parents!

Today after picking up my kids from school with DH, we strapped the kids into their seats and drove down the road. While waiting in the queue of cars to get onto the main road we spotted the child in the car in front was standing up inbetween the two front seats Do people really not value their child's life???

I remember going to the New Forest in a Morris Traveller, with the seats flat and me and my sister sleeping in amongst all the camping equipment! In later years when we'd progressed to a caravan we always used to take our pillows in the car so we could sleep on the back seat. No pesky seatbelts to make us uncomfortable.

To be fair, my parents must have made a bit of an effort because my younger sister had a highchair with two big hooks on the back of it that you could hook over the back of the car seat. We have a photo of her hanging on a five-barred gate eating her picnic off the little tray!
