chaircover:

I understand exactly what you are saying but I remain firm. If everyone cant have a seat belt on in a car that i will drive, then someone is going to have to get out of the car. I dont care who gets offended and with time people got to understand my stance.

My daughters booster seat always travels with us and as far as I know, all airlines carry booster seats for free (they dont count it as weighed luggage, same as with pushchairs) and even if you want to put it in a suitcase, they are not heavy anyway but you hardly see any parents come off flights and picking up their kids booster seats from the conveyor belt. Perfume for uncle A and Ipad for aunty B is a more important item to pack for some people than a booster seat. It seems that the Naija sun turns us all into james bond the man who never dies

. . Also its not just good enough for kids to sit in the back seat, they must be strapped up as well, because in an accident they can actually fly out of the windscreen or even kill the front seat passenger with the force that they will land on top of the front seat passenger

All said and done, this was a tragic accident & I feel for the family. It was all down to ignorance and sadly they paid a very heavy price for it. Many of the people blaming this woman have sat in cars without seatbelts or have been in cars where kids have not worn seatbelts or sat in the front. No one is perfect and Lets just pray that we do not become lessons to other people.

this is what a Booster seat looks like & argos do them starting from only £7.99 - Please lets keep our kids and loved ones safe

RIP baby

tonididdy: i still dont know how the airbag killed her?

chaircover: Please we are all learning everyday . . me included.

a couple of people have mentioned the airbag expiring . . and although we all agree that kids shouldn't be sitting in the front especially in a car that has airbags what do people mean by expiring airbags? have airbags got to be replaced/removed after a certain time?

My understanding is that when you put the key in the ignition, the car computer (sorry dont know what its called) does a lot of checks such as oil checks, air bag checks, brake checks etc. I would have expected that if the airbag was malfunctioning in some way, a warning light should have come on on the dashboard.

Maybe some car experts will come on here and explain so that this kind of thing doesnt happen again. It is well.

Nonyeremeze: @tellwisdom d girl in is my neice n her mum is my elder sister so B4 u talk u ask questions,d were in a holdup n she was only in gear 1 according to d mechanic d airbag exploded because it has expired o dnt b fast to talk wen u were not were it happend mind u God is watching

What was supposed to be a happy homeward journey ended in tragedy when an impatient motorist suddenly tried to beat the vehicle in her front, a Toyota Corolla at the U-turn opposite St. Patrick’s College. In an attempt to avoid hitting the car, the driver suddenly stepped on the break pedal. A panicky Mrs. Emmanuel attempted stepping on her break pedal, too, so as not to collide with the car in her front but it was too late.

I know how you mean but it does not mean that all female drivers are rough
Do you expect me to let my wife and kids be jumping bus? pleazee
also airbag deployment does not always mean the car is on speed

Don't get me wrong-Majority of them tend to display this disgusting attitude of-"Don't cheat me" on steering, forgetting this has to do with life and death.
My sis do this too and I've seen alot of women do the same. I still don't know why driving gets over their brain cavity
