not only is he booster size and in a position without a headrest, they seem to have used the second row seatbelt for the third row bench. :rolleyes:

Little kids in adult belts I've seen (and is bad enough), but how do you manage to use the wrong seatbelt??? :rolleyes:

There is one published monthly in my Working Mother magazine for Sonic touting the "healthiness" of their kids's meals.
All three kids belong in a booster and the middle child has only the shoulder-belt of the seatbelt fastened - not the lapbelt.
I've tried to find it and post on here - but no luck.

It's the back cover of Parents mag February issue.

I would say write them. That is pretty bad!

Ironically, I just got my new edition of Parents today. They had a great write-up on carseats and right behind the final page of the car seat article was that same Sonic ad that Pixel posted.
I am going to write them now. It is unacceptable for them to take advertising that shows such bad practices.
