I hope you are not advocating going back to the days of no car seats and lead paint on cribs!!! I remember when I use to see toddlers standing up in the front seat of a car - made me CRAZY!!
Sure, we (people who are reading this) survived, but how many didn't!! My SIL lost a baby to crib death, I bet she wished someone had told her about babies sleeping on their backs.
I do like the part about being out playing all day. Does anyone else remember, "Calling out" ? -- if you went to your friends house you NEVER knocked on the door or rang the bell. You stood on the stoop and "called them out" - called their name real loud in a certain singsong tone that I can't describe.
