I am not sure if they have these places all over the country, but around here, we have several parks that setup elaborate Christmas light displays and they charge money for cars to drive through the park looking at the lights.
I was talking to a couple of people today and they indicated that their kids would be out of their carseats so they could get a better view of the Christmas lights. One even indicated that they would let the child sit in front of the steering wheel as he loves to "drive" whenever possible. Others load up in the back of the pickup and drive through the park that way.
Most of these Christmas light parks are only 2-4 miles long so not very much distance to drive and everyone drives very slow.
Whenever I take my kids, they are securely fastened in the carseats and seem to have a great view from their windows and never considered letting them out. Accidents can happen anywhere so I don't feel the need to ignore safety issues just because I am driving slowly.
What are your thoughts on drive-through Christmas Light parks? Should kids be allowed out of their carseat so they can see the lights better?
