[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you follow the 13+ rule or something else? I see so many pre-teens in the front seat at drop-off it's shocking![/quote]

[b]I drive a 2 door car, so yes, my 10 year old rides in the front for drop off/pick up at school. Otherwise, we'd hold up the line having him climb into/out of the backseat.

Who else gets annoyed with parents that have 2+ kids that they have to get OUT of the car to put in/take out of CAR SEATS in the kiss & ride line??? I mean, COME ON. Park and walk your kids if you're going to keep them in car seats that they can't manage themselves in the kiss and ride line. By the time my son was in kindergarten I made sure he could do his own car seat straps if I was going through the kiss & ride line. He unbuckled as soon as we entered the line & grabbed his backpack so that when the staff or patrol open the door, he can jump out and the line keeps moving. This year I've noticed more and more people getting out of the car to deal with car seats, which used to be discouraged.[/quote]
Um, I don't think the line would mind if it takes your son an extra 5 seconds if that means he's safer.[/quote]

Thanks for your concern. I'm sure it would be fine too, but we'll keep him in the front. He's a big 10 year old, if he was small for his age maybe I'd feel differently.[/quote]
