Do you make your kids buckle up?

Growing up my parents never made us buckle and we’d crawl around on the back seat, they never buckled up either.

Now as an adult and a parent I’ve raised my kids to buckling just being instinctual and neither could fathom being in a vehicle without buckling. I always do as well, it feels wrong and naked almost to drive without it on.

It’s 2018. I can’t imagine the trashiness it would take to not make a child buckle up

My mom wouldn't move the car until we were buckled. People that don't make their kids buckle up are shite parents.

Yes. I’d rather we not all fly out of the window in the event of a crash.

My mother perfected the art of throwing her arm out to catch us in a sudden stop.

I’m rather surprised at the number of downvoted so far, I guess that’s people against buckling?

It’s hard to get them to light my cigarette for me while they are buckled in, so no. Best not to take my eyes off of the road.

I let her decide. Same with when she was much younger with the bike helmet or running with scissors.

If you were my kid I’d have left you at a faraway Fire Station.

Of course anyone with a brain does this. Not to mention it’s the law.

We didnt have to buckle in the back seats. Only in front. My moms car had the elrtric front chest strap growing up so was an automatic. So as grown it's automatic, and feel odd, in either front seat.

Now if you are an adult that buckles up in the back seat you are a straight up "parents have have a shrine full of your participation trophies" bitch pussy.

She stopped short.

We didn’t when we were kids as no one did. It wasn’t the law and when I first started driving the seatbelt was just a lap belt.

Back seat of the Lincoln on the way to Pensacola the old man would say “put the god damn window up son. You’re letting the smoke out.”

I leave it up to them honestly. Who am I to shove my beliefs down their throats?

The best seat of all was front middle between my maw maw and paw paw. SITTING ON THEIR ARM REST!!!

fricking 1970’s man. Lol

To answer OP, hell yeah I buckle my kids. One of the most horrified moments as a new parent was my son being unbuckled. He was 3-4 months old. And had slept in his carrier/car seat the whole time we visited friends. We left and I frickED up. He was just unbuckled but in the carrier. I just forgot. Got a mile down the road and it hit me. Nothing happened but I was fricked up.

People in my parents generation also didn’t realize smoking was bad for them. Not everything they did was ok.
