Is it safe to drive a convertible car with a toddler?

I've recently become a new stepfather and I have a BMW 6 series convertible. We have a toddler and at the moment I always drive with the roof up if he's in the car. I know it sounds like an odd question but I was wondering if the excess wind may be dangerous for a child.

Sounds like fun! I agree with the others here - sounds safe. It would be just as terrifying for him in a wreck as it would be in a coupe, so as long as the carseat is strapped in right and he's buckled up, should be fine. Just drive carefully!

Mandy

Should be fine as long as it is not to cold and they are strapped in properly

Snakeman !

So long as he's securely strapped in - He'll be fine - honestly !

Of course - you know what's coming next don't you.... You'll have to ditch the Beemer for a "more sensible family car" lol !

YES ! they must wear a thick cotton wool suit face mask and goggles ! and mittens . and be chained in .

no reason why you shouldn't, just as long as the baby doesn't try anything dangerous and the toddler would be fine.

Perhaps not dangerous, but the excess drafts may be a bit unpleasant.

I have a convertible 2 and i am a dad with toddler if you make sure he is strapped in properly and make sure he doesn't mess around then he will be fine trust me i do it allot like today for instance.

Just remember it is ILLEGAL for anyone under 13 YEARS of age to sit (even with a booster seat/cushion) to sit in the front of any vehicle.

I had a cop tell me that it is deadly if you were to get into an accident and flip the vehicle.
