Furst time when took my 1 year old son to India, took his car seat, stroller everything. I found that none of cars we traveled would let us use the car seat and some didn’t have provision for it. After making 2 trips in a car without a car seat, I got jittery and didn’t go out anywhere with my son until I safely flew back home. In the subsequent trip, we bought a car for my in-laws which was at our disposal when we traveled and used the car seat for both my kids, daughter was born after a couple years. Till date when we travel, all of us make it a point to wear seatbelts in India and often get laughed at😔
Like Rishita said the other day, “ Safety comes first”
Also I have a strict rule here in my house, I don’t allow anyone to travel in my vehicle unless they wear a seat belt. I drive a 7-seater, even if it gets filled while car pooling my kids and their friends, every single one if them has to wear, even if they are sitting in the 3rd row. It is like driving a motorcycle without a helmet in the HW. IMO both are dangerous, every person must wear a seatbelt irrespective of where they sit in the car.
