Manitoba Man Is Fined After Driving With Infant Seat On Console

There is no denying that car seats save lives. But in order for that to happen they have to be installed correctly – or in this case – INSTALLED.

A Manitoba driver had his vehicle towed and was fined $1700 after RCMP caught him driving with a baby’s infant seat balanced on the center console of the vehicle.

To add to the unsafe conditions, there was a 13 year-old riding in the car who wasn’t buckled in.

In addition, the 46-year-old driver failed to show police his license, and RCMP discovered that the vehicle was unregistered and uninsured.

This baby’s carseat was just sitting on the console & could have been ejected in a collision. 46yo driver also had a 13yo passenger w/o a seatbelt, unregistered, uninsured vehicle & failed to produce his license = $1679 fines. Vehicle towed. #noexcuses #rcmpmb pic.twitter.com/XvxkiX5vwn

The crazy thing is the infant car seat can be connected to the vehicle without the bas with a seat belt. It’s also really EASY to do.
