Absolutely make them strap in. Kids shouldn't be flying around the interior (or exterior) of a car at speed.

Let’s be honest. One particular group of people don’t make the kids buckle or put kids in car seats

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.





Way off topic but that reminds me of a story I heard about a climbing ranger in Grand Teton. On his day off he was climbing the Guide's Wall, which is not a super challenging route but it can kill you if you make a mistake. He gets to the top and discovers he had done the whole thing without buckling his harness.

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.



Why, the seatbelt still does it’s job back there. And in the backseat not buckling puts yourself as well as the person in front of you in danger.

Do you let your kids eat paint chips?
Do you let your kids answer craigslist personal ads?
Should you start threads that lead to open racial epithets?*
Do you ever not disappoint your father?
*Normaly wouldn’t blame you for that one but.....
His name was Lucas P

Was a joke about the, um, redacted raccoon references that popped up earlier in your bridge thread today. Probably unrelated to you. But. Since you killed Lucas P, I have to assume it’s related to you somehow.

Used to ride in the very back of the country squire station wagon, pops at the wheel. Would fold the jump seats down, put a sleeping bag out and play Mid South wrestling.

Of course...but I also remember awesome trips growing up where we made a fort in the back of the station wagon. Shame our kids won’t ever get that

I was born in the '70's. No one buckled. Hell, we'd crawl from the front, to the middle, to the back back(station wagon) then back again on road trips.

As I got older, I'd do the ol' stash the shoulder belt behind me. Then, one day I headed west on I12 and witnessed a Excursion blow a tire and flip many times in the median. I saw two kids and a women(later learned it was the mom) fly out. Have worn the seat belt correct since.

Yes...my old man made us do this as he said we couldn't get on the Air Base without it. Became a habit.

Saved me from death at an early age when the old dude in the 4-door Impala pulled out in front of my dad's 66 Stang and we nailed him.

No, but that’s because I hate them and have life insurance policies on them

I wear a belt around my shoulder when in the city and fully when on a highway.
That way I won't get a ticket since it's FL "buckle up" law BS but if there's a road rage situation, I'm not buckled in and ready to whoops some arse at a second's notice.

I think I finally get why LucasP lost his shite.

I am not at all advocating for his return. I wasn’t a fan of his schtick...but damn, you start the stupidest fricking threads. How you are still allowed to start topics is beyond me.
