Until the late sixties, most children grew up standing in the front seat. All most all of them survived.

Now if there had been a cigarette dangling from her lips, it would have been another story.

For my mom's car, seat belts were an option. Car seat? Two in the front and a bench in the rear. Plenty of room for a car load of kids. Personally, I liked riding in the back of the pick up with the dog, standing up and trying not to get hit by june bugs and bumble bees.

No, many didn't or we wouldn't have such safety laws today. In the 50's my cousin died because my aunt, in the front passenger seat, was holding him. They were driving slowing in town when they rounded a curve and an oncoming car crossed the yellow line right into them. The impact caused her body to move forward crushing him between herself and the dash.
