What are your rules in your vehicle with the engine running?
What I am referring to is, if you are parked even for a few minutes to maybe eat a snack, or perhaps wait to pick somebody up etc. Do you make your kids stay buckled? Meaning booster seat or seat belt use, not 5-point harness!
This was brought to my attention yesterday as we completed another day of boating after school, (don't ask!) we just secured the boat for the trip home and with the engine running for air conditioning and while still in park, waiting for my fourteen-year-old god daughter to finish using the facilities, my ten-year-old god son was out of his seat pestering my five-year-old god son? I asked him why was he not buckled? He responded we weren't moving and that his friends mother does not make them stay buckled when they're parked? It annoyed me enough to have to ask because my god-kids know when the engine is running they better be buckled! Is this normal or am I being more strict? What do you require? I am curious, Help!
p.s. everybody that rides in my vehicle knows it CAN'T move until everybody is buckled
