[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 35 and I wasn’t allowed to sit in the front until the age of 12. This is not a new rule.[/quote] I wonder when it started? I am 43 and remember riding in the front seat as young as 4 years old.[/quote] I'm 35 and come from a family of 4 kids. I remember sitting in the front in the "bucket seat" between my parents because I was the smallest. So it definitely wasn't a "rule" in the 80s!![/quote] I remember sleeping bags laid out in the back of the station wagon so we could sleep when we got an early start on a trip and then sitting in that same space and playing. Or the rear facing back seat in the trunk area. My Mom remembers being annoyed when she had to buy a baby seat for me because it had just been mandated, my two older brothers were just held in the front seat. And my parents were considered strict because you had to wear your seat belt in the car. There are times when O wonder how the heck so many of us survived, I know it is because the really bad accidents and the like are rare events today and were rare events then, but it seems like some common sense ideas were regularly ignored.
