I would like to have a serious talk/moment here.
One of the things about being a one-person-parade with this vehicle is you are so many kids riding in their guardians vehicles excited to see the JP Tour Vehicle. It's great and I love it all, except how much I have noticed kids not buckled in safely. Toddlers and young children without car seats/boosters, and kids without seatbelts on at all, jumping around the backseat or even hanging out the window to wave.
It's 2026. Please parents/guardians, please buckle your kids up!
In the United States, approximately 3 to 6 children under age 13-14 die in motor vehicle crashes every day, totaling over 1,000 annually (e.g., 1,184 in 2021). These accidents are a leading cause of death for children, with roughly 35-40% of victims being unrestrained at the time of the crash.

If you need assistance with car seat safety I highly recommend Jamie Grayson for advice and seat suggestions.
I love to see everyone's kids excited to see my vehicle but I would love it even more if they are safely restrained so they can grow up to live their dreams too!
