Oh dammit! I thought you were gonna say something about how completely retarded it looked. I think a 4 door Wrangler is an abomination. It's the Wrangler for the whipped husband who might as well have bought a Grand Cherokee.
As for the safety issue I have to say that it's the car seats and if they are correctly strapped in that will make the difference. I had a 92 Wrangler for a short time in 2010 and I rode my little girl around in the front with the half doors on it. I see no point in taking the half doors off. I like having a place to rest my left arm.
The thing that really fires me up is that lately I see more and more guys on crotch rockets with little kids hanging on to them for life. I don't own a bike so I don't criticize those who do. But when I see kids as young as 7 and 8 on a bike in thick traffic it pisses me off because that kid is NOT old enough to make that decision. Riding a motorcycle IS taking your life in your own hands no matter how careful you think you are. I don't think it's anywhere clos to right to make that decision for a child.
And on top of that,why is THAT legal and they want to screw with me about a seat belt?
Not your kid, so why get bent out of shape?
