Child Endangerment...Or Life in Mexico?

A few weeks ago, we walked to the attorney's office for Mike's company, to get help filling out immigration forms in Spanish. Upon completing the forms, the attorney told us she had called us a cab and her colleague was going to go across town with us to get our immigration photos taken.

She spoke English pretty well, but there was a disconnect as we told her that we didn't have a car seat for Annabelle, and that we would walk across town and meet her colleague there.

She was insistent on us taking the cab, and that the stroller would go in the trunk.

So, after looking at each other, Mike and I went with it. We got in the cab, holding onto Annabelle, as we went across town.

In the end, it was fine. No big deal.

However, in the U.S., I would NEVER have considered getting into a car without a car seat.

I'm not sure what a U.S. cop would say or ticket me for there...but here in Mexico...anything goes!
