RE: OT: Would you Lock your kids out?

No kids!
I belong to a group called "No Kidding", a bunch of child-free adults that get together for dinner, to shoot pool, bowl, etc. We even vacation together sometimes. It's good to be around adults and not hear about what Johnny did in school today. Or what he did in his pants.
Please don't misunderstand; we don't hate children, we just don't have them. A few of us actually work with children. OOPS! I'll get off the soapbox...

I would not

lock my daughter out. I can clean the mud and dirt off of the leather and besides it won't/wouldn't happen that often anyway. Was this a soccer mom in the pacific NW? I find that kids whose parents drive MLs around these parts do not partcipate in activities that would get them that muddy.

"Optional Child Carrier"? I didn't think of that! Thanks, Jeff!

Amen, brotha. For those for whom it's too late, I suggest using the roof rack if you don't have a brat carrier like UnAl pictures above. Unbuckle each kid's belt, loop the belt around a roof rail, and re-buckle. Using both rails, you can get about 5-6 of 'em up there. And, by all means, don't worry -- the little buggers love it, especially when you get the speed up to something over 68 MPH.
