This dashcam video will likely make you gasp in dismay, but the good news is that the child is safe – for now, at least…

We don’t see how it happened, but the passenger door of the Peugeot 107 3d opened wide as the woman was turning around the corner and her youngster tumbled down to the ground.

Luckily, the dashcam driver coming from behind was paying attention to the road and stopped in time before anything bad could happen.

Now, while it shouldn’t have occurred in the first place if the mother had taken some reasonable precautions, one could forgive her, but looking at the video, we see that instead of placing the child in the back seat of the 3-door hatch, she just sits him / her up in front and closes the door without even placing on the seatbelt!
