Carseat laws


There are no seatbelt or carseat laws in El Salvador and Honduras. (None that are enforced, anyway.) We always see children riding in the backs of pickup trucks but this sight in Honduras was a first. This is Wilma, a member in Ocotepeque where Brother Jorge Rodriguez preaches. The night we were there, she and her husband arrived for services on their matching scooters. Their two older children rode on the backs of the scooters--one behind her and one behind him. The baby happily rode in the carrier attached to Wilma. This would never pass in the United States, but it works there and it's certainly faster than walking! :)

Dios le bendiga,
