Anyone out there have kids and take extra steps for childcare providers in their lives?
I’m comfortable with what we have at home, but our son is getting to an age where we’re going to start letting our childcare provider (read: nanny) take him places in her vehicle. Aside from the basic stuff like making sure her car is good working order and the car seat is installed correctly, what other steps have you taken? I’m particularly interested in how much planning you do in case of something like an earthquake. I can see a scenario where we're all in different neighborhoods and you can't travel from one to the next because all the bridges are fucked. Do you communicate a basic itinerary ahead of time, plan a rally point, use an “off-grid” communication like GoTenna?

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
