Local News Story - Kid Falls Out Of Car

[BumbleBee]

Anybody else have a giggle when they envisioned the other accident caused by the driver who forgot to put his vehicle in park when he jumped out to save the child?

This could have had such a horrible outcome, hopefully this mom will take a good lesson from it.

I did this same thing 2 years ago at a car accident. Pulled over while hittin the breaks, *thought* I slammed it into park and bolted out of the car towards the accident. Next thing I know my car is rollin away.

I felt like a moron.

More than likely his straps were too loose and he was able to wiggle out. My ds could unhook himself at 2. We bought a VERY high quality carseat and it was installed properly and tightened properly.

So glad he is ok though, this could have easily been so much worse.

This was my son also. He got out when I was driving on a freeway. I had to emergency stop to strap him back in. That was terrifying! Luckily I had a coupe!


When I was young I fell out of the can when my mom was driving 15mph. I was/am very mechanical. All I had to do was watch my mom unbuckle me and I could do it and did and unlocked the door and I fell out with the whole car seat. Not even a scrape on me.

I'm terrible because my first thought was "At least this wasn't a day care provider's fault"::

I thought the same thing! All the stories are about people being with their own parents and getting out or their own children.

if anyone has a kid that can unbuckle or ever encounters it, these locks, put on REVERSE, are the ONLY thing that worked for my houdini!

My Mr Molecule Man had no problems with those. He was the one that started his mom's car at 18/19mo...found the keys, put the right key in the ignition & started it. I didn't go anywhere with him...for good reason.

I gave up on those the day I bought them. I returned them to the store. I have the magnetic tot locks. The kids try, but can't quite figure it out. Even my 7 1/2 yo granddaughter can't do them.

I gave up on those too because my DS figured them out in only a couple seconds.

I too, use the tot-locks



I invested in them when I first opened and have never had a kid figure them out.

I have however, had a cupboard door torn off it's hinges...... ::

I'm glad I have child safety locks in my vehicle. Yeah they might get out of their seat, but at least they can't open the door!

[daycarediva]

My son couldn't manage those locks when they were reversed, but if they were forward facing, about a minute.

Some kids really do give you a run for your money! ::

I wish I could use Tot-Locks . I bought a kit and ended up not being able ti install them in my cabinets. Now i have a baggy of one key and 8 locks sitting in a box in my garage that I'm hoping to get $5 for this weekend at a yard sale. I so wish I could have used them .

I did that to my mother and a poor taxi driver in Germany in 1965, only I held on to the door as he went around the corner. My mother was able to reach over and pull me back in.

Apparently, my mother swore she saw the taxi driver age 10 years in front of her eyes.

In the days before car seats and seat belts...

Why don't they work on your cupboard doors?
