I don't know if I'd want to use this seat in the car after this!

The first one is an Evenflo Triumph, not an infant seat. Still grossly misued, though.

I see seats installed like that quite often around here. :(

Why? She didn't harm it? It would be nice if the kid would be RF, or if the straps were tighter, but she was just jiggling the seat. It gets more banged up than that in transit, and what she did is pretty comparable to rocking an infant seat. I don't think the seat was harmed at all.

Here is a good one. Mommy gets snippy at the comments as well.

A good one! Finally! Okay, the straps could be a smidge tighter on the smaller kid, and I think it might be twisted a bit, but still way better than most you see!

Here is another one that appears to be correctly used. Not top tethered, but that might not be an option.

But poor tao-tao. At least she's RF, right?

Oh, and just one more to make you smile! Rear facing, tight harness, chest clip properly positioned, bigger child (pretty much AT the limit for that seat RF). I approve.

I realize the first one is not an infant seat, but it looks like it's at a sixty degree recline forward facing.

The one where she's rocking him is not bad at all. I sent her a nice little link to the rearfacing video, I hope she enjoys it. :)

You know on Kyle's video, in the comments and the comments to his family, there are a lot of people mentioning their cosco seats, good to eighty pounds. I sent about four or five messeges are to them.

[RubysGirl]

I sent a message to the person who made the rearfacing video, asking permission to put it on my myspace. She has read it but didnt' get back to me. :(

I just figured since it says not to play with it in the house...and we've heard recommendations for not using seats that have been dropped and returning seats that look like they've been treated roughly in shipping. It may not have been harmed, but I personally would never play with my seats like that and then use them in the car.

LOL -- I thought it was cute. At least she knows he's strapped in. Could be tighter, but probably was to get him used to it first. Good mommy, imo. :D
Car seats should not be fragile. It wasn't dropped or thrown around. I didn't think there was any abuse to it at all.
I liked watching the vid -- thanks for linking to it. I don't visit Youtube, so I wouldn't have seen it.

[Morganthe]

It's a Hyunday commercial -- nightmare for parents irl, but cute and funny. I'd have loved the little girl out in the water too instead of setting the typical habit of watching the boy performing. But oh well. :rolleyes:

Car seats should not be fragile.

sometimes I worry about damaging my seats during installation. Especially my husky because I have installed it about 20 times so far this month in my mom's van trying to find a way to make it right. Now Im worried I may have stressed it to much??? :/

[joolsplus3]

Oh, no way. your Husky is fine. You installing it is nothing, nothing like crash forces... and that thing is like solid granite, anyway :)

[Yoshi]

Are any of you old enough (like me) to remember the old Samsonite luggage commercials, where the gorilla jumped up and down on the suitcase and flung it around his cage (I'm sure he's in therapy now:p )and the luggage was just fine with no dents and not breaking open....I think the Husky/Regent is pretty tough!!!! Not like some other seats.

LOL -- I remember that too. Right up there with OJ dashing through the airport in the Hertz commercials. :rolleyes:

[joolsplus3]

LOL, yeah :).

Then you all must remember the special K, Can you pinch an inch? commercials.. I always want to reference that when telling how to pinch a harness to make sure it's tight enough... (or am I *really* old? lol)

[Michi]

This one is way cute :)

That is too cute ( but is his chest clip backwards?) Something about it looks 'off'

[Jewels]

Too funny! I remember that!

Feeling old, I had a tele marketer call wanting to do a survey on alcohol and other beverages. He said is there a male in your household between the ages of 18-22? (no), a male betwee the ages 23-29 (no) okay any females in the house between 18-24 (no), okay that concludes my survey thanks for answering! Now I felt old. Too old to participate in a alcohol survery! I never drink anyways (but yesterday almost drove me there!) so I likely wouldn't have been much help to his survey anyways. But that made me feel old. Hardly even past those ages!

[Jeanum]

:D I remember all of those commercials, too. I also have some memories of the Watergate hearings, Nixon's resignation speech, and NASA moon missions (not the first moon landing, though. I'm not quite old enough to remember it, lol)

[Morganthe]

I remember the pinch-an-inch commercial too.

2nd earliest thing I remember is being really angry that Sesame Street wasn't on (AGAIN!) because of a bunch of men sitting at tall benches talking at one another. I can still see the image pretty clear in my mind. :)
It was one of the early watergate hearings. I had to be around 3 years old.

1st early memory is peering over the edge of my dad's desk and reading the numbers 1-9-7-0 on his calendar in the winter, so it was around Jan or Feb. LOL -- I just realized my dh was less than 6 months old then. :D

Memory's such a fickle thing. I have so many blank periods through later years, but occasionally I get such clear photo images from early childhood.

It doesn't look backwards to me...the straps look flat/straight and them being twisted would be pretty much the only way it would be backwards. I think it looks off because the straps are so big on him?? I know what you mean about it looking "off", but I can't quite put my finger on it!

[LuvBug03]

its not backwards it is just threaded differently. Some clips thread over the middle part and some thread through it. Britax threads through it.

[honeybee03]

UGHHHHH!!

In this video the nurse is telling the mom that as long as he is on breastmilk instead of formula he needs to take multivitamins!!! WRONG!
