On another note, I implore every parent/guardian to buckle up your child/children when driving. I often see parents/guardians driving around well buckled in but your child/children (toddlers most of the times too) in the back free as a bird (sometimes head, hands and all manner of evil outside). Just think what would happen if an accident happens and they're not buckled in. Even if you can't afford a car seat, at least let them sit back in their seat until you get to your destination. Stay Safe Everyone!!
Was this the fault of the manufacturer of the Vehicle or the fault of the Driver which seems improbable .
