went to BRU today

[jewlsvern]

I went to BRu to try my DD in a EFTA and while I was there a man asked the associate who was helping me what car seat was the safest. The assoc. told him that are all safe, so I piped in a said "this one is really great" as I was putting DD in it. The assoc. also recommended the Comfort sport. Then the man asked about the MA and BV. So I preceded to explain about the seats and the weight linits and how they should RF as long as possible. Their DC is 7 mo so they must for now. They would have bought the MA but it was out of stock. I explained about the crash test data and how it was so much safer. I think I had the mom convinced. They are buying the MA so hopefully they will keep DC RF. She also asked me about Teething and recommendtions on that so they at least were willing to listen to my advice. Hopefully one more child who is safer.

That's great they listened to your advice! Ugh, about the Comfortsport. A BRU employee talked DH and I into that seat when DD was a baby. Thank goodness she was a peanut, otherwise she would have outgrown the seat in less than a year.

He told them it was a FF seat and since their DD was 20 lbs could be in that. That's when I spoke up.

Good for you! I had a less than amusing time today when I was at walmart and saw an infant FF in a snugride. I said that the baby needs to be RF and that the seat wasn't designed to be installed FF, but mommy just ignored me and lit a cigarette. Nice hugh?!
