Also, I guess they faced carseats forward early in

The horror! I have no clue how we all survived.

Also, does the carseat not have a 5 point harness? Hahaha wow the world used to be so crazy.

The carseats we had to ride in did NOT look safe at all. It's amazing how things have improved.

I also want to add that my one of my mothers relatives had a child die because she was not in carseat.I believe she was about 6 months old. She was sitting on her moms lap and when the mother saw they were going to have an accident her instinct was to push her on the floor.

Thats seriously wild! It's a miracle any of us survived

And... There's a pic of me drinking Coca Cola out of a bottle at like 3 or 4 years old.

Tamb!!!! I remember getting pumped when my dad got a Cadillac and they had seat belts in the back seats like in the front! Chest straps all around.

You are holding your bottle so well!

We didnt have carseats!

I need to dig through my old pictures. There's one of me trying to drink out of my dads beer can. I guess that's where my kid gets it. She went nuts over my bottle the other day. It was hard to keep it away without bashing her tiny teeth!

And, my friends mom just put her in a Moses basket on the back seat in '80

I vividly remember my carseat. The vinyl was white and a big padded muff/bar thing came down from the top. So much easier I imagine than what we deal with.

I don't even think I went home in a carseat from the hospital? All the pictures they have of wheeling my mom out with me and there was no carseat in sight. I am also like... 7ish years younger than you. I don't think there were many rules/regs back then.

My Dad can't remember if I even had a carseat (born in 1978).

I did find a note my Mom wrote to my Grandma who was babysitting myself and my 2 older brothers back in 1978. I must have been 3.5 months old and it talked about giving me cereal, fruit and veg. It also talked about the various drugs to give us before bed. We were either sick or drugged to sleep! lol

I remember mom saying my bro, 32 now, rode on a blanket beside her when he was a baby. she'd lay him down and hold the wheel in one hand and hold him down with her other.

I don't remember having a car seat, either. I do remember sitting on someone's lap in the passenger seat, though.
