Oh, Garrison, how well I remember (I'm a couple of years older than you) taking my small children in their little "car seats"--little hammocks of canvas slung between two soft-metal hooks over the back of the front seat, with a plastic tray and some "toys" (maybe a toy steering wheel) in front of the child. My God! Such a device would get us arrested now!
I am so grateful, now, that my beautiful little granddaughter only rides in a special car seat, in the back seat, strapped in, facing toward the back, with her mother strapped in the back seat facing her, attentive to her every need.
BTW, when my children were small, we lived in Lake Wobegon... that is, we lived on a farm near a very small town in MN. So, even tho I'm a native of California, I well know life in small-town, farming communities in your state. Bless you!
