is Taking an infant off roading in a mud truck safe?
daughter is currently 9 months old, l her dad(my bf) bought a mud truck so they ‘can have somthing to do that both of them will enjoy’ he says that there are front facing carseats made for going off road and mudding. I don’t think it’s safe for a 1year old to be doing that. The truck better have a cage or sumthing to protect her of they flip or something
First off, no forward facing before 1 year and 20lbs, it’s illegal to do anytime before that. Secondly, the longer your daughter is rear facing the safer she’ll be. Third, as long as she is properly restrained in her car seat that is installed correctly and he doesn’t drive like a moron where he can flip the truck( which would mean you’d need to replace the car seat) he can take her for a drive.
i’m sorry….but, that sounds like a horrible idea

they can bond via offroading when she’s older, there’s plenty of other ways to spend time with your daughter that are age appropriate. Consider this……….when is the last time you heard "off roading" and "carseat" in the same sentence?!? There’s your answer.

For the same reason it is not safe to shake a child, this is a bad idea. The jarring of the car could damage her brain and possibly kill her, even if she is properly restrained.
