I went to install my neighbours car seat for them. They were using it FFing WITHOUT the tether for a couple days and I kept telling them I would reinstall it for them. They had a rental car and then they reinstalled the seat themselves. I have always been the one to install their seats. Well they wanted to keep him FFing. He is 15 months and 19.6 pounds. Tells you how tiny he is!
I told them that although I encourage them to keep him RFing I will install it either way so that we all know it is installed right. They were humming and hawing. I said, remember what happens in an accident. He can have his limbs and his neck fly forward and cause he is such a frail skinny little guy it would put a lot of strain on his neck and there is always the possibility of internal decapitation. (that is what I was told) I said I do not agree with him FFing at all yet.
So they stood there thinking about it a bit more then the mom told the dad it was up to him and he said, well I would really prefer him RFing. So she agreed!! YAY!! He is installed RFing! With my spare seat but that is another story! I hope it is at at least a 30* angle but I couldn't get a picture last night. But it is rock solid. I told them to go get it checked. Which they probably won't but at least I can take a picture sometime soon and show you guys. She came down while I was installing it and said to me, you really should get trained in this. I see it really is a passion for you.
YAY!!
I did the happy dance all night!!:thumbsup:
