Is This Safe….Or Legal???

WTF????

Do some people not have common sense???

Red Hot Chili Peppers' frontman Anthony Kiedis strapped his son, Everly, to his chest and drove around Los Angeles in that car-like contraption on Sunday.

That little kid is only 8 months old!!!!

Dad and son hit up a local Vons supermaket.

What if their "car" was accidentally hit by an SUV????

Be safer, idiot!

This is bullshit– when Britney did this, the world ripped her apart. Now cause some rocker does it– it's a simple slap on the wrist?? C'mon people!! At least she was in a car with DOORS!!

WTF?? If he was hit from behind, he would crush that kid into the steering wheel!!! What a moron!! And to think I used to like Anthony Keidis!

Big Deal. America is so uptight. In many other countries people strap their babes on their back and go on their mopeds or more. Or climb mountains.
do not start giving Anthony shit for teaching his kid to trust himself.

Nothing wrong with that really. It's better than riding around on a bicycle with a baby seat for example.

i dont see what the big deal is, the baby is strapped to him, this little smart car is good for the environment and no different than a golf cart, and nothing about this picture depicts him speeding around LA…im sure he was just driving around just like you would with a golf cart
Jen says – reply to this

21

Is that some kind of golf cart?
zombie_hands says – reply to this

I guess he's trying to show that his environmental friendly driving that car. Think of the exhaust fumes that baby is inhaling…I guess it no worse than that stuff he inhales at home!

Yeah, that looks dangerous.

Perez,

It is NOT okay for you to use the "C" word. It is just as bad
as the "N" word and you think using the "N" word is a felony.
Stop using the "C" word please.

Relax!!!!! People can ride faster on a bike with a kids set on the back!!! It's a golf Cart!!!
Jaryd says – reply to this

Ok, I've got a problem. This post LEARLY shows that Perez is not writing about Britney anymore. I would just REALLY like to know why. If he's doing it for a good reason that would be great but an explanation would be super. So please give one…

It's a GEM car. A moderately in-shape person could outrun its top-speed.

I just returned from two weeks in Central Europe (Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Munich to name a few). People smoked indoors, kids rode bikes without helmets, cars go FAST, etc. It was such a great change from our overly governed society with too many laws and too many people in other people's business. Maybe we should bomb Europe until they submit to our laws! Lighten up people…no one cares about Anthony's child more than he does…lay off!

GEM!!!!!!!!! HEY THAT'S WHAT I WANT! THOSE ARE GREAT CAUSE THEY ARE ELECTRIC, THOUGH I WOULD NEVER TAKE KIDS IN IT. JUST ME AND FRIENDS WHEN GOING TO WORK OR TO THE MALL AND BEACH…SHORT DISTANCES.

What if the air bag went off. Children of that age are supposed to be in the back seat in a rear facing car set. This is not a game!

It got seat belts, so I guuess he has to us them. But he isn't.
Come says – reply to this

48

Oh come on, I'm sure 99% of the people posting here had parents who did the same to them when they were kids. I'm sure you've all sat on your Dad's knee at one point in your childhood and helped him "drive" the car. Get a grip, it's not like he's going 90mph, it looks like he's barely strolling along. I could probably walk faster than the speed they're going.
seria says – reply to this

49

It is not like Britney at all! She was holding her toddler with one hand and driving with the other one! What I find surprising is that in the U.S., buckling your seatbelts is not mandatory.

He is in traffic with a child on his lap while he drives in some kind of vehicle. Didn't Britney do something similar and we jumped ALL OVER her shit? And before anyone says anything, it is the same thing, accidents happen all the time and this child is not safe by American standards and he should be called out for his actions. Of course we live in a country of hypocrites so its ok, no prob let HIM do what he wants.
Regan says – reply to this

58

I live in a beach community and people drive around in these little souped up golf carts all the time in an effort to be green. But Most that I see with little kids still have them in a car seat in the back. It is a double standard though. When Britney did it people wanted to take her kids away…and did. Because he has the baby in a Baby Bjorn, people just think he's a good dad for taking the baby with him everywhere and being environmentally conscious. Lame.

So, where's all the outrage like britney got?! He may as well have strapped the little rugrat to a motorcycle.

jennzzz says – reply to this

61

what a twat!!
there is a dude in my neighborhood that does that same stuff with his young daughter and when I'm out with my 4-year old taking her for walks or for a bike ride (with her helmet on) we see this douche neighbor man taking his young daughter for a super fast ride on a motorcycle,, he holds her with one hand and she sits in front of him,, no helmet whatsoever and even my 4 year old freaks out each time we see them ride by,, she says "Mommy that lil baby will fall off and she is not wearing a helmet"
I explain to my daughter her father is a bad bad person who does not regard the laws of mothercycle riding,, and they do not make motorcycle helmets for newborns,,
hehee

anyhow,, these are the idiots that end up with a kid with broken arms, legs, feet etc,,(hopefully not death) and wonder why something like that can happen to them,,, because they loved their kids so much blah blah blah
it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize certain activities are dangerous,, and as much as a parent might find it fun for their child there has to be an inner-judgment that tells the parent it is wrong,,
unless they have no brains left from doing drugs most of their life like this douche,,

I'll be praying for his helpless baby,,,

What a fucking tool!! No door for protection and no seatbelt. I wonder if that damn thing has an airbag. That, among other things, could kill that baby with a blow to the face.

perez you're an idiot! it's obviously a golf cart and he must be driving it around the course anyway, how would he encounter an suv. looks fine to me, he even strapped the kid

I live in Tokyo and you see people riding around in Bicycles with babies on the back and front of regular bicycles everyday… also there's no real car seat law here so you can get into a cab without a car seat…

America is so uptight…

you must be a bad parent,, or not a parent because if you find this fine and normal you have absolutely no brains in your head,,
any type of moving vehicle a child needs to be strapped down in a car seat

Re: tonya – You aren't too bright are you. Do you even know where electricity comes from? Its a secondary power source, idiot, meaning that it has to be generated from a PRIMARY power source such as oil, natural gas, nuclear, etc. I suppose you think converting food for fuel (ethanol) is the best thing since sliced bread too!!! I wish you and people like you would read and educate yourselves on these "great for the environment" energy sources.

omg ..did noone ever ride in dads lap while drving…and pretend you were driving. people are so anal about everyone being safe. yea P a suv "could" hit them …but anything can happen to anyone.. people just need to live thier life. and stop being so "i know whats best for everyone" people need to chill and worry about whats important. im sure the kids in a car seat all the time. maybe this was just a dad/kid day out…everything turned out ok ..so whoopi

Re: laur –

yeah absolutely right….and by the way he's definitely a rolemodel for everyone, cause he thinks about the climate change, you guys should think about the fucking SUV's you drive….the USA is beside China the country with the most CO2 emission, no wonder you've got problems with floods, tornados, hurricanes……that's mother nature which takes revenge! Thank god there are americans like Anthony Kiedis who think AND act!
And come on guys you never ever sat on the chest of your Dad when you were young???? It's not a ferrari it's some kind of a golf-car! It always looks like you guys never make a mistake, although I must admit it's not a mistake Anthony is doing here!
savan says – reply to this

73

Would have it been any better if he would have put the kid in a baby seat in that kind of car? I think this way is safer. The baby seat would have just slipped out the car and he wouldn't had a hold on that.
Annie says – reply to this

74

I dont really think it is that big of a deal, this is obviously like a weird car that he is probably driving locally and going no faster than 15-20 mph.

Besides Anthony Kiedis can do no wrong I love him

jp says – reply to this

77

big deal. when we were growing up, i used to ride in the backseat of our car without being in a belt. We are living in a nanny society where everyone is criticized for being the least bit unsafe. Accidents happen, I mean people can get hit by a car as a pedestrian. should people not take their children on walks?! oh, and the BAC for DUI's used to be .12, now its like one beer and done. guess what? alcohol related crashes have only increased.

Anthony Kiedis can do as he pleases. If the baby were strapped to car seat in that thing would it really make a difference?. Dumb shit. You're all dumb fucks for agreeing with the fag.
pensi says – reply to this

81

the electric car is street legal on roads with 25 mph limits. Its got a steel role cage and seat belts. Its made by Chrysler's Gem star division. But, the kid needs to be in a child seat.
lsale says – reply to this

82

A child is not allowed to be in the front before the age of 12 or before he or she as reach a certain height. Anyway, the baby looks also very young to enjoy a little ride like this with daddy! I also think that the toddler is more in danger being strapped like this with Anthony… A baby Bjiorn is a carrier not a belt, the straps are not meant to resit to an impact, in order that he isn't using the proper seat belt himself

People are too sensitive if this was 30 years ago people would say so what?how many of us did'nt ride on our parents laps as children?and howe do we know he was'nt parked its not a video we can't see those wheels moving,either way its anthony keidis not britney.He has'nt ran over anyone,or dodged red lights get over it people we are brainwashed to think everything is hazzardous now days!!!

Re: mj – Electric cars do require a primary energy source to be produced however, they are better for the environment because they are a point source pollution emission instead of a nonpoint source polluter like normal cars. Also, coal power plants can have buffers put a damper on the pollution it emits. As for ethanol it is potentially better but there is not enough space to grow all the food required to power every car on this planet but at least it's a renewable energy unlike oil gas etc…
