I the preschoolers who saw it the original way, without seat belts, would disagree with you once they grow and want their childhood show preserved exactly as they originally aired.
lets put it this way: what about the shows were aimed for you when you were a preschooler, would you want them altered to please the parents of today's preschoolers?
Are you aware that "Peppa Pig" is only a 4 year old show?
It's been around since 2004. My eldest son, who's now 9, watched it when he was a pre-schooler. Would he be bothered if he realised that the original shows had been altered on the Blu-ray? I doubt it.
Yes, I admit the purist in me doesn't agree with these alterations to appease parents (some reports say there were several complaints, the article I linked to suggests it was a single complaint from one mother). Mostly through it's the complaints I find ridiculous. We see a family of anthropomorphic pigs supposedly reflecting the real world - why aren't parents complaining about the safety implications of Rebecca Rabbit playing with Freddy Fox? What about the geographical inaccuracies of elephants and zebras, natives of the African savannah, going to school with British farm animals like pigs and sheep?
