I was looking around in our workshop for a strap and found this....

it was $2.10 when it was purchased.

couldn't get the pic any better to be read.

no date on package.

"Lying down. Standing. Sitting."

Seeing that kid standing next to the driver gives me the willies!

"Drive without distraction."

Not with a preschool standing next to me!

(Any chance we can talk you into installing that? )

It was in a bag of straps. Humm, I wondering if it's from when my husband was a toddler. His parents said that he didn't sit still in the car.

My uncle has a really really old reader's digest book on child- rearing that recommends that.

I notice that it is designed to protect against injury in sudden stops. Not accidents.

I suppose in an era that rarely had seat belts and didn't have car seats, it was probably not a bad idea.

Well considering what happens to my purse when I have a sudden stop, I can only imagine what would happen if I had a 1 year old propped up in the passenger seat

I guess a carseat is just an elaborate method of tying your kid to the seat. Maybe they were onto something.

What a cool find. I can't wait to see if you can rig a replacement piece.

My mom has a picture of my aunt nested in the floor board of the car. I guess that helped with the wobbly ones.

I remember standing behind the front seat while riding to look at christmas lights in an 80 something caprice classic. That thing was a tank.

Now brought to you by my Vortex and *ghasp* an app.... I joined the craze... Now please excuse the typos while I master this swype thing.
