Delhi is not the world's most child-friendly city. It's dusty, polluted, and not that safe. One of the first things you will notice is that many Indian parents tend to be pretty relaxed about their child's safety. Children often wander their neighbourhoods quite freely (even at a young age). It's also not uncommon to see children as young as seven or eight lighting fireworks without parental supervision on festivals such as Diwalli (where fireworks are common). Parents often let their children ride in the front seat of cars without safety belts or special child seats, or simply prop their little ones on the handlebars of their motorbikes. This is alarming for most foreign visitors, whether they have children or not.
