Why we cannot have a third child in Singapore...

Nevermind that Singapore weather is so damn blardy hot that when i take two kiddos out i'm covered in layers of grime and sweat by the end of each day. I don't mind the "hardship". But logistically I cannot have 3 kids (or more) because of the new car seat laws. How can i possibly fit 3 car seats into the back seat of a normal 5 seater? I need to wait till Mountain Boy turns 7-8 yrs old (which is roughly when a kid reaches 135 cm) before I can have a third child. By that time i don't even know if i want to have a third child, or if my ovaries are still working. I'm convinced that this stupid new law aims to break the child bearing momentum.

Even if i have a third child by the time Mountain Boy turns 7-8, this bugger still cannot legally sit in the front seat because of the car safety regulations. So which means the 3 kids have to sit in the back seat. Think of the possible scenarios... 2 toddlers and a baby doing stuff the parents can't control. Hmm...

So the last possible scenario is to get an MPV, but think about the road tax and coe, and petrol consumption!

Dun buy car lah, just take the public transport. Or better still, just don't have a 3rd kid! If you already have child no.3, whooops... too bad!

I'm not sure if it's available in Singapore but Diono carseats can but installed 3 across. Just in case you are interested or know someone that needs three.
