This first one may be hard to answer. I was asked to take a look at an older Caravan that the guy in the next stall was working on. When I went over to check it out I noticed a car seat in the back, so I grabbed ahold and pulled to see if it was tight. (weird fetish of mine) It was, however, it was a Fisher Price T-Sheild seat. Looked old. I understand from reading the Parents Place car seat board that these things are not safe or recalled or something. Should I have said something? They didn't have the money to fix the van, so who knows what their finances are like. I hesitate to freak people out who may not be able to afford a replacement seat. Opinions?
Second. What should I tell customers that have a car seat installed improperly? I'm not a car seat tech, so I don't know if they would believe me or not. I can't recommend a tech for an inspection because I have been unable to get a response from anybody in the east metro to inspect my seats. (leave message, no return call, seat inspection in the St. Paul, Minneapolis area is a joke!) What, if anything should I say?
Third. What do you do with an old car seat? We will no longer be using our Evenflo On My Way. It was built on Sept. 27 1998. It is not a recalled model and we have 2 bases for it. I was going to throw it away. Any other options?
