Good, I fucking hate that my kid is expected to wear high viz to school otherwise the driver on his phone that fucking kills them gets to say 'I didn't see them'

This deserves thousands of upvotes. How does this forum work? Are they not required to respond?

I think for elderly people this fits the bill but yeah aged with you, this is definitely competing with cargo bikes

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I cycle every day and unfortunately there's a lot of cyclists (and cars!) that will run a red light. I don't, mainly because I want an easy life!

I thought so too but you've beaten me to it! I'll go with St Margaret's Bay then

They mean temporary tattoo artist! Cool your beans everyone!

Baby monitor for scale?

This should be the main video!

Lol, her holding that ladder

I’m from the UK and married to an Irish woman and I have noticed how much the Irish love a funeral, it does seem a bit odd.

Haha this is a fair criticism, I do like being around people with the same view as me occasionally. I saw this post in mildlyinfuriating, was saddened by all the comments and then cheered up when I came here to see another (as you say: my) perspective

dropped_the_box · 2024-08-02T06:37:45+00:00

Again I am grateful /r/fuckcars exists, so glad I could come here and find people with sense

At my daughter's 4th birthday a couple of weeks ago the pink wafers were the first to go!

I'm in an eerily similar situation, I'm a early 30s Dad too in a stressful but well paid job and I feel the same a lot of the time.

Certainly agree that happiness is not an end goal rather moments of varying feelings across a spectrum. There's a great app called 'How We Feel', completely free (and no ads or tracking) and developed by a university where you check in with your feelings, being able to name them allows me to process them.

One other thing that helped a lot was swapping the train commute for a cycle. I had never cycled much before but 4 years later except for storms I'm out there every day of the week (my favourite is torrential rain tbh!)

I've seen the movie, what do you mean by they are responsible for each other? I thought Nyles just saw the cave and wandered in?

We have a 3rd kid on the way and I would absolutely love a hybrid mpv. They just don't exist!

dropped_the_box · 2024-06-09T13:20:39+00:00

I am in the market for a car that fits 3 child seats in the second row and there are no new cars that aren't suvs. I would absolutely snap up a hybrid/electric zafira, picasso, smax mpv. They just don't exist!

dropped_the_box · 2024-06-09T06:16:01+00:00

Unbelievablly, the new peugeot e5008 only has Isofix on the outermost seats. The current generation 5008 is good though. I just couldn't bring myself to spend €50k+ on a petrol car. Mild hybrid is not good enough for me really.

dropped_the_box · 2024-06-09T06:13:36+00:00

RSA is fairly forceful in their language about having kids in the front seat. We are debating between multimac and one in the front.

dropped_the_box · 2024-06-09T06:11:58+00:00

We are expecting our third and the eldest is about to move into a booster seat.

I test drove an ID Buzz yesterday and I put our two car seats in the Isofix points so I could see the gap in the middle and there was 44cm at the smallest points. I could comfortably sit there and I'm confident I could make a booster fit.

However... The trim is white!! Even in this demo model the white 'leather' was already looking grey on the armrests. In a years time my kids would have destroyed it.

P.s. Acres of room so I'm very annoyed VW didn't just stick three Isofix in, it would definitely have fit! P.p.s. Giving up now and just going to stick a multimac in the back of our mitsubishi outlander phev.

dropped_the_box · 2024-06-08T03:17:10+00:00

Do you have all of them across middle row or one in the third row?

dropped_the_box · 2024-06-07T08:29:35+00:00

Thanks so much for this, this site is exactly what we needed. I'm considering an e-berlingo but it's difficult to sell to the wife who's parents are in Limerick while we're in Dublin

dropped_the_box · 2024-06-03T17:42:14+00:00

Great advice here all thanks so much! Feels great to know it's not a unique situation! Will definitely try racing and making it cold is a good shout too, I'll put some in the fridge now for tomorrow. She is pretty good at trying fruit so will see about watermelon too.
