Safest Car Seat in a Crash?
Okay, safest car seat, huh? Well, lemme tell ya...
Rear middle seat. Hands down, that's what studies show, right? But it's more than just the seat, it's how you use the restraint. Buckle up, folks! That's the real key, and it applies to all ages.
I remember one time, back in August, felt like ages ago now, a friend... her kiddo... well, they had a minor fender-bender. Luckily, she'd read up, put her little one in the middle rear, properly strapped, and honestly, I think it made a HUGE difference in keeping the baby safe. So yeh. It made me think hard about where my child sits, I gotta admit.
Rear middle for the win if you can.
What is the safest place to sit on a bus?
The safest spot? Ah, the middle of the bus. Makes sense, really.
- Front impact? You're buffered.
- Rear ended? Distance is your friend.
Think of it as a crumple zone buffer.
And yep, between the tires? Sounds about right. Structural integrity. I once saw a bus design doc... fascinating stuff. Seriously, it might be your best shot considering all the what-ifs. It makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?
Buses, eh? Reminds me of that cross-country trip in '23. Never again!
Where is the best seat on a train?
Ugh, train seats. Window seat, right? Always the window seat. Except... wait. Three things? What three things? Oh man, I hate middle seats on trains.
- Window seats rock!
- Aisle seats are ok, especially if you need the bathroom a lot.
But then there's the sun. Remember that time on the Amtrak to San Francisco? OMG, fried alive! Had to use my stupid scarf as a curtain.
- Sun glare is brutal! Face East in the AM or West in the PM.
Okay, so window is still best, but maybe the quiet car is the actual best, no matter the seat. Yeah, quiet car FOR SURE. Unless they have those stupid crying babies.
- Quiet Car = Zen. Unless babies.
And ViaRail? Are they even comfy? Or is it like those cramped Indian trains I saw on Reddit. Yikes. Need leg room. I remember the time I went to Montreal and the seat... it was awful and hard!
- Leg room is crucial!
- ViaRail seats: Research! (r/askTO)
Worst seat? Obvi middle seat by the toilet. Duh. And facing backwards makes me hurl! Seriously projectile. So, not backward facing! Always forward. ALWAYS. My travel sickness, ugh.
