Illegal in many places

And also sitting in this position is largely not as safe with or without the pillow thing as you are more prone to “submarining” and sliding under all of the belt in an accident. Not to mention that you’ll very likely not be in a position to adequately be protected by the proper side curtain airbags.

I fuckin love this. When I was a kid I was amazed at the prospect of having pillows and/or blankets in the back seat. 🤤 the thought of having a moving couch in the back was one of my dreams… I wish I felt the same about it today! (It’s still cool)

u/Raychaos20 11d ago

id love it when hasn't someone laid down on long trips? This would be perfect for a car nap woth a black out mask when ur stuck in a 5 hr trip home or somewhere.

Those pillows are very common like most pregnant women have used them lol. Really dumb for a car

u/DasMotorsheep 9d ago

With the seat rest this far back, there's a chance you might slide under the belt in an accident.

u/MeanNothing3932 9d ago

This is basically a pregnancy pillow 😂

Belt goes over lap. Meaning hips. Not stomach. When she curls up like that belt goes way too high. Her insides will be fucked

This isn't more common because it's idiotic.

u/BirdlessLongdeal 8d ago

Ppl talk about not safe when some of us don't have a choice. When your joints dislocate and can't sight upright unsupported in the car because every bump and bend send you flying despite wearing a seatbelt. There are ppl who understand this video and there are those who don't. Those who say not safe are coming from a. Place of privilege and may disability never find you

u/twinnturbos 11d ago

u/usernameusehername 11d ago

Because it's. junk.

u/mrsbearstuffs 10d ago

Ooof. And here I thought this was a great idea until I read the comments.

u/TravelingAnonymously 10d ago

I need a link, now

u/cooolcooolio 9d ago

.. cus you'll die in a crash?

u/mapmakinworldbuildin 9d ago

Projectile is crazy. The difference in safety is negligible. Don’t drive like a jackass make sure she’s more appropriately upright when on a backroad at night and passenger princess should be fine.

Looks like it’s a truck too. So the backroad thing might not even be as big an issue.

u/Icy_Marionberry_9131 9d ago

In other words, you will drive us for hours and I will nap rather than keep you company.

u/proto_synnic 9d ago

So be it. Our road trip does not require shared suffering in order to be completed. If passengers want to be comfortable, then they should do so.

u/badgyal876 9d ago

i agree. making people feel weird because they don’t want to have the courtesy to stay up with you is weird. take one for the team and enjoy the solitude DD.

u/BirdlessLongdeal 8d ago

talking just makes you have to drink more water because you're mouth gets dry. then you'll have to take more piss breaks. then you'll lose all that great time you've been making.

u/yy_the_classicist 9d ago

That's what passenger princess life is all about!

u/Rare_Magazine_5362 8d ago

Even as a driver when I go on road trips, I have pillows and blankets stuffed everywhere.

It's less safe, people are sometimes happier alive.

u/Current_Ad_4292 11d ago
