Exclamation A Baby is Not a Toy...

Riding in back of a pickup truck is not legal in Florida, although that traffic law is seldom enforced.

After Hurricane Irma, construction workers (mostly out of Miami) would be packed in tightly.

With too little room in the cab, my BIL rode in my truck's bed. I hoped we wouldn't encounter the Sheriff's Department on our short jaunt. As it turned out, we were followed by the Florida Highway Patrol for several miles and as we turned off the highway, he continued onward!

I see a similar "situation" in boating, where an adult takes a baby on a Jet-Ski ride.

For non-swimmers, the risk is excessive, IMHO.
