I've had to transport my kids from time to time, and there hasn't been enough seatbelts. My friend has told me that it's fine to hold my child on my lap in the frontseat as there's an airbag, and if that doesn't work, as the car is old, then i should be able to hold on to my child in a crash. She has also told me that my kids are fine in the backseat unrestrained as the frontseats will stop them. She never restrains her kids, or herself, and I never wear my seatbelt as I survived a crash when i was young because I was unrestrained, and i've never buckled up since. I always restrain my kids, but I only have one car, and my husband normally takes it to work, and I have to get a lift with friends. I'm not sure what to do as something tells me that it's not safe to hold a child in the frontseat, but nothing has happened so far! What could go wrong Can anyone give me some tips? There's normally my friend and I, and five kids (my two and my friends three, all under 5) in a small hatchback!
