So, I had someone ask me yesterday about somehow attaching a car seat to a boat (obstensibly to keep a child contained?). I said it was a bad idea, but I'd like to have a bunch of reasons, in case they come back with "why the heck not?"
They actually brought it up because I mentioned my Marathon was expiring next week, and I would be sad to cut it to bits. They wanted to see if I would sell them my Marathon to use on their pontoon boat. I said (and I quote), ""
My first thought was that, if a kid was strapped into a car seat, that means they AREN'T wearing a lifevest. And then, if something were to happen to the boat, baby would be trapped in a car seat, rather than bobbing in the water in said life vest.
Any other good reasons?
