Eleven people and the same number of sheep. :)

Having one person in a POS focus is one too many :-X

Why are children always treated differently in the media? Surely its a tragedy if anyone is harmed?

Typical Wrectum behaviour. ;D

People didn't bother much with health and safety when I was a kid.
As a nipper I'd be sitting on somebody's lap all the way to Cornwall. Nobody had or bothered with seat belts, so if you were 'launched through a 'toughened glass' windscreen it could be quite messy.
Character building they called it. ;)

When I was a child family holidays meant 8 of us kids plus mum and dad piling into dads Humber Supersnipe saloon.No one thought anything of it as such things were a common occurrence back then.

Three small kids in the well behind the rear seats of an old Beetle. Never thought of the consequences at the time. :-[

I was brought home from the hospital in a carrycot on the backseat of mum's Herald.
Later when me and my sister were 4 and 3, all four of us and an alsatian went all over the place in an Austin 1100. That wasn't unusual!

The 1300 GT had a certain appeal though........especially in the lurid colours of the time.

My son came home in a carrycot on the "shelf" behind the seats of an MGB soft-top, sharing said space with a Cocker Spaniel ... Top was up however as it was December .... :)

Yeah, best selling car of the sixties and up until they turned it into the Allegro. Which was a backwards step.

We didn't have a car. We got the bus.

I did get 9 in a '55 Ford Pop once, had to open the inside doors as a counter balance on corners to prevent rolling it.:-X

I'm amazed they were made until 1962.
They look like a car from the thirties.

My father had one, seemed a quick car on our shopping trips to Tesco over Aberdare mountain👀👀

and wind the clock on to 1988, the nurse at the hospital was a bit put out when we wanted to place our new born lad in a rear facing seat on the front seat (no air bags & no rear seat belts at the time) when she wanted to place him on SWMBO's lap

They were basically the same shape as the 39-4? Anglia. :y

I like this Ford Pop! (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1959-Ford-pop-hot-rod/264072796731) 8)

That is nice, but seems like very strong money.. at least it has a 302 rather than a Chevy 350, mind :)

My first born child was brought home from hospital in a 100E which was of course the follow on from the "sit up and beg" Pop.

My stepfather, who owned a large motor dealers, including heavy transport, drove a 100E Anglia, with overdrive on top gear (3rd?) for at least 10 years. He ran this after my mother took the side off his - 1st in the UK - Austin Atlantic (A90) convertible, which was a beautiful car, cream with red leather. Everything electrically operated, most of which failed within 6 months! It had the first push button radio I had seen. :D

Mr Shackeng must be the last person alive born during the Victorian era..... ;)
Just kidding. Edwardian era. :y

Don't let the millennial parents see this thread, there will be outrage that we weren't wrapped in bubble wrap, tightly strapped into a daft child seat.
