Kid#2: Are we almost there yet ? I have to pee and baby Chong is sitting in the bathroom bucket again.....

Kid#3: I'm cold.....

Parents: You can solve both problems at the same time.

All of the real child seats were tainted with lead paint so they used an empty arsenic pale. It also doubles as a diaper...

The Risk:

3 generations of genius wiped out all at once by an unpreventable mass transit motorcycle accident.

The Reward:

Passing down the knowledge of great fuel economy to the younger generations...

They even formed a tear drop shape with the placement of the air bags kids... The round pale is also more aerodynamic than those wacky Infant car/motorcycle seats. Brilliant! What country is this in? I want to send my manufacturing work over there...

This is nothing... Wait until you see the picture of them on the way back from the store.

Does anybody else think that the baby in the bucket looks like he/she has been digitally added to the picture? A nice touch.

I've heard that they make clothing from recycled bottles, but this is ridiculous and the fit is too loose around the armpit.

All survived the accident, with the exception of the driver who succumbed to attempts by paramedics to "turn his head around right way" before they realized that he was wearing his jacket backwards to keep out the wind.
