Kid with guardian

Any one knows, Is it allowed to keep one year old kid in the lap of her mom in the front seat( not in the driving seat, of course)?

Nov, I believe it did not mention child car seats which is a huge issue in this country. _______________________________________________________

the thing i cant stand it when i see the barents all safely buckled to their seat while all the kiddies jump all over in the car. So if the crash happen (which is very common in Doha road) parents would be saved but not the kiddies.

No kids in the front, but nothing about child seats, or seat belts in the back.

The car in front had a small kid standing on the front passenger seat, repeatedly punching his driver in the face. As we came up to a queue at a roundabout, I looked around at the other drivers in the queue, thinking that I'd smile and shrug my shoulders in a sign of solidarity with sane drivers. Every car I could see had at least one untethered child aboard.

Ho hum.

Are you treating all people that do not agree with you as chit-chatters ?

Last night when I posted this the chit-chatters got mad and felt insulted because I said I was bored. Yes, let's talk about religion, politics, marriage, homosexuality, ANYTHING! And what is wrong with you people thinking we have to all agree and get along? Thanks for setting them straight Gypsy

I guess you were not brave enough to say that when we were arguing, you waited for us all to be offline :) pooor PM :d

was perhaps 2 days ago. At the Traffic lights at Hyatt Plaza a vehicle over took me and pulled in front of me at the red lights.

As i looked into the car in front i could see a child of no more than two years old asleep on the back shelf, facing the window. Even my daughter who is four said" look at that silly baby"

Ive not seen a collsion yet where the backend of the vehicle and rear window hasnt been smashed. Some people dont deserve to have children.

I thought about taking a picture with my phone and contacting the Police, but i think we know the possible outcome there!

I guess the first question would be-why would you???

But, you cannot have your children in the front seat with you.

but there is actually no law for child care ..

I mean she still can sit on her mom's lap and no one will violate her .. but of course for the safety it's better not to do it ..

and some other unmotherly stunts thus her losing custody (temporarily) of her kids...

I am concerned myself as I see kids standing inside moving cars. A sudden jolt or stop would hurt these kids. and with the new traffic laws created and inplemented, I think they should included laws regarding child safety.

Are intending to use them as human airbags...are you crazy? Why on earth would you want to do that to your child...put them in the back in a car seat according to their weight please.
