OTTAWA, Ontario (CBS Local) — A driver in Canada who allegedly strapped a toddler to a beer case instead of a car seat was charged with failing to properly secure a child, police said.

The 22-year-old driver was pulled over early Tuesday at around 2:30 a.m. in the village of Atwood, near Listowel, therecord.com reported. Ontario Provincial Police officers say a 2-year-old child was also in the car, sitting on a 30-can case of beer.

The Wellington North driver, who was not unidentified in order to protect the child’s privacy, had allegedly put the case on the seat of his car and strapped the child to it.

The toddler was not injured. A child seat was brought to the driver, and Family and Children’s Services was notified of the incident, CP24 reported.

He should have already drank the beer by that time.

I was often told that I was brought home from the hospital in a Hamm’s Beer case. Just assumed it to be true— it was the sixties, those were nice boxes, and returning the bottles probably paid for the gas.

I guess you could say that the little guy got high on that beer.

[gundog]

I think a woman in Montana (?) got popped for the same thing.

They blotted it out in thee vid, but I am guessing Labatts Blue.

Thats what happens when the Mrs has to go to County on a 48 hour hold.
What ya gonna do? Gotta get to the beer store.
Are ya supposed to leave the kid alone.
Jeez Louise!

[hanamizu]

Sounds just like Ricky...

[Yaelle]

So you can still use a 24 pack?

Are traffic deaths down?

Yeah, traffic deaths are down, way down from the pre-belt days. There's a lot of reasons for it, but the seat belts are a big part of it.

LOL, going to try and share this on FB with my son-in-law. No, he’s not Canadian!

[Old Yeller]

Better than sitting on longnecks. Million to one chance doc, million to one.

It might be but who knows for sure these days with so many beer brands around. Both the major brewers Labatts and Molsons are foreign owned so there is no longer any patriotic loyalty to them anymore just like bud in the US.

[tallyhoe]

in those days you could fill the tank almost with a dollar and you got free drinking glasses or S&H green stamps..

[tallyhoe]

per the pop yes, but there still about 37,000 citizens killed each year..

Gas station water glasses and large jam jars were all I drank out of growing up.

[Dr. Sivana]

per the pop yes, but there still about 37,000 citizens killed each year..

It was well over 50,000 in the '60s. Not only has the population risen, but people drive a LOT more now. The number of deaths per mile is MUCH lower.

Bud light

[CJ Wolf]

Not sure they come in ‘30 packs’

[CJ Wolf]

But on closer inspection they didnt blur the 24 cans. So yes I concur. Bud light
