#5: Buckle Up
This photo shows something we would never see nowadays without a huge media uproar. A family is taking a relaxing bike ride with their baby in the back. The thing is, this small child isn’t buckled into a car seat or anything. The baby is just hanging out in a wicker chair that looks precariously attached to the back of the bike!
If we saw this on social media today, most of us would freak out about child endangerment and neglect. Things were simply different back in the 1930s when this photo was taken. Kids were expected to fend for themselves in many ways. Many things were considered normal back then that are now considered weird or dangerous. It’s funny how things change over time.
