Safety First

Now, I'm sure we can all recall times when, as children, our parents didn't put us in a proper child's seat with what seems like today's standard of 10 seat belts holding the child in.  I can remember my brother and I riding in what could be considered the trunk of our yellow, 2 seat'er Corvette, or standing in the middle of the front seat in Grandpa's "big yellow boat."  Being in a 3rd world country, we see many various forms of child transport, but this one was a first.  This photo is of a truck taxi in Banos where we watched a mother place her youngest daughter, the one in the stroller, into the back of the truck.  Basically, a car seat with wheels to help propel the child up and over any accident that might occur.  Genius!  No, seriously, don't worry, that obviously wouldn't happen in this case.  You can tell by the great hold Mom and Sister have on the stroller.  Check it out:
