Amazing. Glad the little tike was unhurt.

I live near the Mullica River in Southern NJ. Every year a guy come down and takes his red convertible amphibious car for rides on the river.

8 miles down river on a plastic toy and...

Police said the infant seemed oblivious to the danger he had faced.

Watch, he'll be graduating from some special operations training school in 16 years :-)

He let himself out of the trailers. I guess kids that age can do that. My dad said that when I was that age and we were living in Germany where my dad was stationed in the army, he said I was constantly climbing the front yard fence at the house and trying to run away down the street..........

DUH! YA THINK! Three year olds have absolutely no concept of danger.

If it had been a Jeep Wrangler the kid would have made 15 miles and picked up two babes along the way.

Had to put a "high lock" on a lot of doors when my kids were little. If you read the article, you'll find this kid as "a history".

Yeh, he's normal!! All kids try "the great escape" at some point!!
