While not acceptable in todays world, my mother and uncle survived riding in a rumble seat from the time they were toddlers until they were in junior high and grandpa got a new car. They even remember riding back there in Iowa snow storms!
In Ireland they strap the kids to the bonnet (hood).
PS: Anon: a rumble seat was designed to carry passengers. If this car stops short or has an accident that trunk lid will slam down fast and hard At the very least it will give one or more kids a concussion or at worse fracture their skulls.
It's infantile, but most people in 3rd world countries are.
