I’m going to go out on a really, really long limb and assume that this wasn’t the safest restraint system for kids in cars.
But it sure does look like fun. I was clearly born in the wrong era. [Vintage Ads via Boing Boing]

Monday, November 7, 2011 at 2:01 PMWhat a great idea for storage! You could use it to strap a few on the doors, the ceiling, the floor, and even the backs of seats! Awesome :)

Monday, November 7, 2011 at 3:13 PMI don’t know how old the OP is but we didn’t even need seat belts when I was a kid, I remember climbing onto the back dash and going to sleep on regular occasions! Plus it was nothing for my oldies to leave four of us locked in the car whilst they went shopping and had a quite cuppa…. things have certainly changed eh?

Tuesday, November 8, 2011 at 10:36 AMYou’re forgetting one thing… Back then the belt was considered a legal method of dissuasion, and my dad made sure we didn’t think he was bluffing either!

Monday, November 7, 2011 at 11:44 PMgoing out on a limb means to take a chance, or go against the norm
so you’re not really going out on a limb unless its likely that it was the safes restraint ever.
