When I was a kid you could sit wherever, and you didn't have to wear seat belts.  My mom never made us.  I remember my 2 and 4 year old brothers jumping up and down on the back seat while she was driving around.  I shudder to think.

I thought this was going to ask, How old were you when you were born?

Well as kids my brother and I rode in the back of the pickup and little sister rode up front with mom and dad. That is when went to the grand's, 97 miles away. we didn't mind better yet we didn't care as she always got at sick and wouldn't mind me. But once we got there and I had turned 7  I would drive the old ranch  pickup as it would idle along and grandpa would throw feed out to the cattle and by the time I was 14 I drove the old grain truck while my uncle was combing the wheat and then I would  drive it to down to dump at the  train depot. Also got my drivers license 4 days before I turned 15. Back in those days farm kids got them early.  we had too a drivers course in school. I am proud to say I am almost 75 and never have had a ticket.

I grew up in the 60's....we just rolled around in the car and rode in the back of pickup trucks.... ;)

Those were the good old days :)

I was an only child. I guess I got to sit in the front whenever mom and dad were not both in the car at the same time.

I grew up without seat belts too. And I rode in the back of a truck when we visited my aunt in the country, but I always got bugs in my eyes. Why did I enjoy it so much? :confused1:

I don't think we had a restriction when I was young.  I remember sitting in the front seat whenever I was out alone with my Dad.  My Mom didn't learn to drive until years later.

We sat where we wanted in the car with no seat belt.  We also rode in back of trucks.  I miss those days

My mother didn't drive until I was almost 13 so I never got to sit in the front seat before that.
