Mothering Corner

I prefer my kids to be buckled up in car seats when we are on the road because they will be more obedient and won’t distract hubby from driving safely. That’s why I plan to send their car seats all the way here to Bangkok and they will still continue to use them until they are older for safely belts.

If you have been to Bangkok, it’s not surprising to see the passengers riding on the back of the pick up truck or riding on motorcycles without their helmets. It’s only illegal to ride without a helmet, but passengers can sit at the rear of the pick up trucks for traveling. Will they fall out from the truck if there’s an accident? Sometimes, you can see lots of people squeezing themselves in a sedan and I always wonder if the passengers will get hurt badly if someone hit the rear spoilers?

I’m not trying to be paranoid. I can accept the ways of how the locals travel on the road but I prefer my kids to be safely buckled up. When it comes to my  kids’ safety, I want to be strict about it.
