Just a question:

Why don't Qatari people buckle up their children in the car? I even saw a lot of babies on their mother's laps in the front seat, this is too dangerous!!!

Please do it for the children!!!!!!

In my hometown, part of the prenatal care routine is education about infant safety. I think the hospitals should give out free carseats to new parents and show them how to use it properly, along with a simple pamphlet about what actually happens to children when in a car accident(like flying through the windshield...) Where I come from, they won't discharge a baby from the hospital until the nurse sees the carseat and the baby in it before you leave. As a matter of fact, with my first child, the car seat we bought was too big and there was a whole conversation about if I could leave with my baby! After much haggling, we figured out a way to secure her safely in it and off we went.

There are people who don't want their families to see what's on satellite TV. So they choose to only have QTV at home.

Do they not broadcast on television any public safety announcement advertisements like we have in the UK?

If people saw something like that and still didn't use seatbelts for their children, they should be warned their children could be removed from their care for reasons of child endangerment.

That's quite shocking.

It gets really dangerous when the dad is letting the kid steer the car.

I know it was a rhetorical question, but here is an answer...it's called IGNORANCE.

There's an unenforced law where children under 10 need to be in the backseat.

There's no law to where children need to be strapped into child safety seats.

There's no awareness. There's ignorance.

The sight of a baby riding in dad's lap as dad is driving is quite common.

Quite horrific.
