Cars were a lot stronger back in the day, they would probably still be safe.

I use to love spending time in the back of those seats back int the days when my mom and dad go on Road trips miss those days please bring those seats back it was fun. Sometimes we get stupid people from these days complaining of how Dangerous it is to ride in back those seats that’s because they never experienced the ride them self.

I'd drive it!! I have had one after another for Years...The Sable and the Taurus. Fun fact (my husband didn't believe me til I showed him) you can fit several full sheets of plywood in the back with the seats laid flat!!!! πŸ˜† It's the ultimate Hard Top El Camino πŸ‘

I miss that seat as a kid. Waving and giving the peace sign ✌🏿 to cars behind us. So much excitement getting a response. Memories

I loved my parents station wagon. it did have the back seats that faced backwards. If we were messing around and driving them nuts we had to come up to the center seat as a punishment. πŸ˜†

We folded the middle seats flat, threw down blankets and traveled in style. Played many a board game in that backseat! No collisions.

I was just talking about this and people didn't believe me. they said no way. I'm like I had an aunt that owned a car you rode backwards in and waved at people

Our station wagon didn’t have seats. We just rolled around in the back. Or when delivering newspapers, my mom would leave the hatch door pulled down. We would sit at the end of the hatch driving around the neighborhood, jumping on and off at each location. Fun times! Or sitting in the back of pickup trucks. πŸ‘πŸ» Can’t do that anymore.

I remember our station wagon had those little seats in the back of it except ours were went from side to side, and then our legs will meet in the middle, that tended from each other and they went the opposite direction so our knees would meet in the middle. now but just the two kids in the backseat with our feet up on the back window, and enjoyed a nap and fun for us but not my dad we held up signs that says help me I’m lost and help me I’ve been kidnapped. That one didn’t go over with mom and dad. But honestly, I wish we had those seats again. No they really aren’t safe, especially if you have a rearing collision but dang it was a lot of fun.

I remember the tire thing I still have one, but I’ve never seen seats that sit like that, but I do remember one time we went to the zoo with some friends my mom and her friends and kids, and we were sitting in the back of a Volkswagen bus on the freeway and the door opened up luckily I was smart enough to hang onto the handle until they pulled over

I used to lay in the back on that little area under the back glass where the speakers are. I slept from Ohio till we got to Virginia. My 3 brothers and sisters were on the seats and no way my mom and dad would let my ass ride in the front seat πŸ˜….

Yes, the car is back in the day were a lot stronger but they were also a lot more dangerous now airbags and guess what the gas tank was the first thing that would’ve explode when you were hit in a station wagon! I can also remember a case or a station wagon they weren’t bucket stats at them they were bench seats. The wife was sitting next to the husband who was driving. The children was sitting next to the wife. The next seat was lined with children as well and I can’t remember how it happened but I remember it was a wreck and the driveshaft snapped in half Came up to the bottom of the car and up through the wife and killed her instantly.
