Brad Pitt drives with Shiloh Jolie-Pitt on his lap

Brad Pitt certainly won't win any prizes for Father of the Year, after he was spotted driving a golf buggy on a quad bike track, with daughter Shiloh perched on his lap.

The Ocean's 11 actor was seen out with sons Pax and Maddox enjoying a family day out at a quad bike track in Miraval.
But the 44-year-old was criticised after he was seen leading the way in a golf buggy with his two-year-old blonde daughter seated on his lap.
Toddler Shiloh was perched on Pitt's lap for the ride and doesn't appear to be wearing a seat belt nor a helmet.

A spokeswoman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said: 'Children shouldn't be sitting on parents laps when driving a vehicle because the child could be distraction to the driver.
'And should there be an accident the child would be put in a dangerous position.
She added: 'Children should be in their own seat in the vehicle'.
Daughter Zahara was not seen with the family who are staying in France after Pitt's actress partner Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins Knox Leon, and Vivienne Marcheline in a French hospital last week.
She left hospital in the South of France earlier this week.

Earlier this year supermodel Kate Moss was criticised after reports she and her daugher failed to wear crash helmets for a quad bike ride.
Miss Moss, 34, was said to have rode the vehicle with Lila, 5, and boyfriend Jamie on a bridleway half a mile from her country home in the Cotswolds.

Sources said she drove at well over 20mph.

I doubt he'll get slaughtered like Britney was. Although, it was a closed access road, not where there's any traffic.

Not to mention it's a golf cart, not a sports car. Those things barely go above 20

Sorry but this is bullshit. He is not on the road and not driving at a high rate of speed in traffic. This is no different from doing it in your own backyard.

Well, my two cents: while I imagine a golf buggy doesn't exactly fly, and there probably wasn't a lot of traffic (especially if it's private property?) it's kind of dumb on Brad's behalf.

Exactly. Not only is he fug, but dumb as well. Not that that is news, though.

In the words of a beloved GR gal ... Vanilla Pitt is a useless tool.

I just read on Perez that images of Brad, Angelina and family (except twins) are circulating and the lawyers have sent cease and desist letters to a few publications. On Perez it says that the images were taken of the Pitts on private property, so maybe these are the images and they are on private property?

I agree. All he has to do is hit a bump and out Shiloh goes. She might get seriously hurt, she might not. Looks like Brad is wearing a seat belt in the first pic, he should have strapped her in with him.

^^True, however, I have tipped one over several times!

Yes, there was a heavy amount of drinking involved(and no children)!

God, another paranoid parenting finger pointing thread.

If this were Britters, everyone would say "what a dumbass."

Brad is a dumbass.

Some lady died not too long ago when she fell outta a golf cart.

Sorry, but Brad is wrong here. She should have been strapped in somehow.

Come on people. I hate to say it but "when I was young" we rode in the back of my dad's truck down to the lake. When we got there, the roads were just dirt with oil, some just ruts in the road. It isn't that dangerous. Move along folks, nothing to see, nothing to see.

Here we go. The same people who blast the hate on this couple at every chance will jump all over this one. You should know he probably let her play with some paper too knowing full well it could have caused a paper cut. What a moron. Shiloh needs to be rescued. I am sure he never would have done something so careless with one of the "chosen" children!

Sweetie - please be sure to add this to the list of transgressions.
