Memphis, TN has a lot of crime, as most places these days do. To guard against purse snatching, when I buckle my seat belt I also buckle at least one handle of my purse into it. This also comes in handy when I need something out of my purse while I'm driving. I know that my purse is always down to my right and so I can reach right in it without having to look over in the passenger seat or the floor board. Plus, if a car wreck were to happen, there is less chance that the valuable contents of my purse are going to be thrown everywhere and anywhere.
That's a really good idea! Just yesterday after I finished shopping I dumped my purse out of the seat onto the parking lot. I was lucky that time having thought to zip it up after I cashed out with my purchases! Thinking to close it is a big plus! I don't always do that & have had everything tump out of it in the middle of the water dept. as I payed a bill ! How embarrassing!
Honey's mom : I also often buckle my bag into the child seat in the cart! It gets rather heavy on my shoulder after going to 3 stores! I am a shoulder bag lady; never took much to handbags or clutches. My back & shoulders ached all the rest of the day & into the night from having the weight of my bag to carry for so long! Part of it may have been from driving my pickup - it is a 24 mile round trip to & from town + the added milage in town between dads & dinner & then shopping. I'm giving your post a THUMB UP for making me think! Thanks
What a super idea. I rolled my truck two years ago during a blizzard in which my purse and many other things were thrown out of the truck. I hunted and hunted in the snow on my hands and knees for my purse. I was alone and thankfully not hurt badly but in my purse was my identification someone would have needed if I were. If I had only thought of buckling it in. Kudos to you!
