(Vanity) BABIES THAT RODE BACKWARD IN THE CAR

SELF | NOVEMBER 28, 2015 | KNARF

[knarf]

A century ago, my parents learned I could not sit sideways in the rear seat of the family station wagon ... I got car sick

While on vacation, after having driven for about 6 hours, I was tired, went into the bacl of our Outback and attempted to sleep (I was SO exhausted) while my wife drove and we had to stop while I got some sleep ... it just wasn't happening in a moving car

I have never riden backwards (baby seats), but my experience with eyes open, moving forward (LOVE roller coasters and those hang in a harness, flip you over and around a few times amusement park rides), pretty much tells me moving forward with your eyes open is the way God intended us to perambulate using other than your legs

I've looked and I can find no data

Does anyone know any stats about any affects on kids that grew up riding backwards for the first 2 - 4 years?

Did they become democrats?

Are they afraid of the dark ?

Are thery skydivers and bungee jumpers ?

I'd really like to know

I don’t know, but the worst thing in the world is backwards moving roller coasters.

Last time I rode one of those, which was also the only time, I almost died. If that ride had been one second longer... death.

I puked for 3 hours.

I also cannot read in a moving car, nor can I ride down a steep mountain cut back road without getting severe motion sickness.

But I’ve no idea if I was a backwards car seat baby.

Well, ya might try contacting Joan Claybrook.

She had a thing about riding backwards in a new fangled government motorcycle.

Dont know about any of that stuff but read your line about the clean and dirty kids.

That’s what concerns me. Can this younger generation ever clean off the filth they’ve been fed?

[dp0622]

and since head injury and damage to vestibular system, i cannot read in a car or even on a plane anymore.

And why does vestibular always come up as misspelled? i see it a dozen times on my medical test reports?

[knarf]

At least you're a kindred spirit

Someone posted on my FB page a screed about be sure to face your babies backwards in a car ... it's safer and etc.

Which sounds good, but ...

what kind of an adult emerges from a human body that had four years of reverse ambulatory indoctrination ?

The FB screed made me think and contemplate the idea and I looked to see if there are any stats on the subject .... and I found none

[sparklite2]

Can’t you add it to your dictionary?

[knarf]

Thanx ... I heard that preached in the 1980's and it left a mark (pun intended)

We homeschooled our kids and I always say I drugged and brainwashed 'em

Drug 'em to church and washed their brains of the worldly crap that got in there anyway

[Politicalkiddo]

I rode backwards for the first year or so of my life. I had terrible motion sickness in the car until my early teens. Then, I suddenly grew out of it. I haven’t had a problem since, and I never have had a problem with roller coasters.

[knarf]

I had to look that one up;

" The vestibular system includes the parts of the inner ear and brain that help control balance and eye movements. If the system is damaged by disease, aging, or injury, vestibular disorders can result, and are often associated with one or more of these symptoms, among others"

... and I think that is a place for me to start studying .... thanx

[dp0622]

yes, but i need a crusade and that is it :)

Getting the world to accept vestibular as a word

#vestibularlivesmatter

what a pathetic crusade to choose...

[sparklite2]

LOL

[Kickass Conservative]

Remember the big GM Station Wagons with the third row rear facing seat?

My Childhood Buddies Parents had one and riding in that seat was an interesting experience.

[dp0622]

No problem.

I wish for the head injured soldiers (and of course for myself, being human) that they were MUCH further along in treatment of brain injury or disorder.

I think another 100 years is needed IF it is possible to repair brain injury.

Good luck and I hope you find something that explains your issue.

I hated driving behind someone whose rear facing seat was full of kids. It was like being at the monkey cage bars.
