Seat Belt Please

love this ad - so simple and to the point. i'm starting today with a rant. i have seen people allowing their kids to stand in the front seat of their car without restraining the child or in the passenger seats or standing in the middle talking to the driver. WHY?! is the child's life not worth that much to you that it's ok for the kid not to be buckled up? or are you so arrogant that you think you are not going to get into an accident? or are you just a total moron?

yes, child safety seats are expensive and yes, i know not everyone has the money to invest in one but that's not a good enough excuse to allow a child to be standing unattended like that! seriously, someone explain this to me.

my Boy never liked the infant safety seat - used to cry and tried to wiggle out of it but i stood firm and just let him cry. even now i have to constantly remind him to buckle up and he knows that the car won't move till he is secure (he suspects that Mummy has eyes at the back of her head). my Girl has now started sitting in the front with me which i'm trying to discourage - my car has air bags and i'm worried in case of an accident it would deploy and being a child she would most likely get hurt.

there are certain things that i would overlook but not fastening your seat belt is NOT one of them!
