#19 Secret Agent Dad

I still wonder from time to time; what if I had become an international super-spy?

Well, for one thing, it’s a good bet I’d drive something other than a mini-van. Spies get cool sports cars with exciting gadgets, leather upholstery and an exotic blond in the passenger seat. Dads get mini-vans with cup-holders, ground-up cheerios in the upholstery and … well, it’s best if we stop this comparison before getting to the passenger seat.

That’s not to say that the modern dad lacks for automotive high-tech. Instead of knock-out gas to keep the passengers quiet, Dads get in-car DVD players that perform much the same function.

Ejector seats? No. Car seats which perform the opposite function. If James Bond had ever strapped Odd Job into a car seat, Odd Job would be there to this day. For escape-proof, nothing beats the good-old BabyCo SnugglyKins Twelve-Point Passive Restraint System ™.
