I don't think there is any difference between a top up or down on a convertible. Either way, if it flips, it's a good chance you're in a lot of trouble.
Nope. I dont like riding in convertibles myself- both because of the safety factor and because I hate having the wind blow on my face like that. I wouldnt put my kids in a convertible for the same reasons, but twofold.
Re: Would you let your baby ride in a convertible..
Also it is just a one time thing.. not like I am trying to buy one.
No, I wouldn't.
