SOLUTION FOUND! THEY WILL GET TOGETHER TOMORROW TO DO THE CAR SEAT SHUFFLE WITH ALL THE KIDS, SEATS AND CARS.
Here are the choices, there are no other choices at the moment. I just need to know the lesser of the evils please.
-Expired high back parkway booster seat (1.5 years)
-Expired chase (1 year)
-Expired no back turbo (no clue how long been expired)
This is for a 5 year old child. Child does fit in the chase harness but is above the weight limit. Child is about 45lbs. Child does not fit well AT ALL into a no back turbo booster so buying some cheap no back that isn't expired isn't really an option either.
Back story? The parents are REALLY hurting financially. There are no free seats in my area or theirs! The cheapest seat I can get is the Turbo for $40 at my local safe kids, but then I would have to ship it to them and then it gets pricey. Parents will have money after Christmas when they both return to work. (I'm glad mom shopped for christmas all year and didn't wait). Dad has lost his job, mom is laid off of hers also. They have sold everything they can to get money for their house payment so they don't loose their home. They have already lost one of their vehicles when his unemployment ran out. There are no relatives that can help. I can't help I'm broke so can't lend them seats and too far away anyways. (Already checked shipping costs they aren't pretty!) Mom will buy child a new seat with her first paycheck back to work. Dad has a lead on a new job also that starts in mid January, but they are both freaking out that none of their seats are safe! They had another seat (Nautilus) but it was involved in a bad car accident in a friends vehicle and can't be used anymore.
