s children, we sat in cars that had no seat belts or air bags.We even sat in the front seat.
…Travelling in the back of an open van was a special treat and we still cherish the memories.
…Our cribs were painted with bright colors, using lead-based paints.
…We did not have safety locks for children on medical packages, electric wall-sockets, bathrooms or doors.
…When we went biking, we did not wear helmets.
…We drank water from the garden hose instead of a bottle of mineral water.
