my 2 year old is itchin' to go for a ride in "daddy's new car." this morning on the way to daycare she said "daddy's new car ? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)" no sooner did she notice me make our way to the grocery getter when she spouted "no mommy's car, Daddy's car! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) "
so my question is: can i drive her to daycare safely without having to worry about someone plowing into me? i know, anything can happen, most accidents happen within 1 mile of your home, etc..... the risk probably won't outweigh the reward here, so i just wanted to hear a few opinions. thanks. we spent $300+ on a car seat, so it has to be worth something, right? |

Not to be a downer, BUT...the Civic probably has a crash rating of four stars while a 914 would probably get a 1 star rating in todays standards. Safe for 1973, but not good today. And last I checked, we are driving these cars today in today's environment. I drive with my young daughters in all of my cars and recognize the risk. I think if you get in a bad accident in a teener, you are in trouble. But the same goes for horses, swingsets, rollerblades and airplanes. We gotta live our lives... |
