I didn't even have that and I survived. I used to sit on a 5 gallon pail in my dads truck, since it only had a drivers seat......

I know the kids car seats today are a lot safer, but they sure are a pain in the arse to put in and take out.

I would imagine that that devise has saved a life at some time.
Bruised, maimed for life, but alive.

Was thinking about rigging up something like that for the dog.

nice, slam on the brakes and hang the kid..

my car seat as a kid wasn't much better
two pieces of upholstered board on an L bracket to make a "chair" with a flip down hoop like a ride at the EX and two hooks on the back to hang , HANG it on the top of the seatback
...you know those old seat backs with no catch
the same ones that would flop down when you stopped to hard ..

yeah them ones

and I still remember screaming at my mother as a toddler in that car seat as her 64 dodge was being lifted out of the ditch.. while I'm still sitting it it , in the car seat

nose of the car was about ten feet in the air
I was not impressed....

How many of us either played on or road on rear window package shelf in our parents car.

I can also remember my dad, when I was older, doing the old  arm reach to stop me flying

off the front seat during sudden stops. Ed

I rode in that cubby hole by the back window of my dad's bug....Probably the safest place in the whole car. Was the warmest spot too, no heat got to the front of that thing

Sitting facing backwards in the station wagon was always the best. Mainly because Dad couldn't reach back and swat us. He had to pull over to make his point. When we went camping he would pack everything in the back seat to the roof so there was separation.

Buddy of mine told me about his childhood. Youngest of 7 ( also the biggest) he was often snagged into one of those harnesses which then had the other end hooked on the clothesline. He had the run of the backyard, length of the clothesline with a few feet out either side. Like the family dog.....but with more area. Their backyard was on Lake Ontario, their lawn dropping off about 20 or so feet to the beach below, a move-able stairwell leading up and down. One day his Mom looked out - as she did often when he played out there - and couldn't see him. She ran out the back door, followed the clothesline, and found him.....over the edge, hanging from his harness like Peter Pan in a high-school musical.....just taking in the view.
