happy bunny!

Christmas money came today from family so had to go into town to bank them, god it was chaos but we where in and out in twenty minutes.
Some people are friggin idiots, drivers that is. Honestly we all need to get somewhere so chill you will arrive at some point!
Then we went to currys to get a microwave-we havn't had one for months and you dont realise how useful it is. My hubby brought me a new hoover as im loosing my hair :( and our little one wasnt coping (its ok im not bald lol, its my meds). And little miss was starting to act up so we dived in and out- just need me tumble dryer then im a happy bun bun.
However, seeing a newborn riding on an adults shoulder in a car upset me a lot, why make a child when you are risking its death by a sudden breaking maneuver? Some people eh?

[boxtops]

what - how was it riding on the adult's shoulder? - which seat, what position?

[firewatch]

no looked like it was falling asleep, not distressed quite happily looking over the adults shoulder, back seat passenger side, mum was driving. I have never in my life had my toddler loose in the car, all ways sat with her in the back if shes un happy.

[boxtops]

Could it have been inside the adult's seat belt?

...'tis the season to be jolly....fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaa.......

[firewatch]

okkkkk but still a child should be secured in a child seat.

[ummmm]

Having a newborn inside an adult belt is even more dangerous Boxy...

They must have been going pretty slow for you to be able to take all that info in though....Do newborns happily look over peoples shoulders? How did you know it was Mum driving? Who as holding the baby then?

Could it have been a doll? They are pretty realistic nowadays...

we were driving off a slip road to join the motor way (tredeager junction onto the m4 east bound, quickest way round newport) im pretty good at taking in info quickly, its stood me in good stead for work (people sneaking bottles of alchahol in or minors round the back and tracking them across three cctv screens ). it had that new born bemussed look lol, pretty sure it was mum driving as dad was in the back, and no others where in the car.

[bednobs]

who cares how it looked, or if it was feeding?
children should not be in a car except in a child seat, it's the law.
That is all
