Hey! When I was a kid, my folks had a VW Bug. Remember that cute little ‘cubby’ in the back, over the engine block?

Yep. That’s where they put me, and later my sister, while driving around doing chores, or we were driving long hours to visit relatives.

Seat belts? Didn’t have them in any of the cars they drove until I was a teen.

How did ANY of us survive? ;)

However - puttin’ baby in the airless trunk in a Florida summer? Probably not your best move...

It was not uncommon for me when I was little to lay across the package tray of my parents car on family trips. It was simply a different time. of course, then my parents bought a station wagon and my sisters sat on the bench seat while i got that weird “tailgunner” jump seat in the back. Facing backward, I had a completely different vacation from the rest of the family.

Ha, same here! Only, I went in there voluntarily. Loved it!
