Where to begin?
I'll start with my BIL. Single dad with joint custody. I have no clue how my nephew rides with his mum, but I imagine it's the same as with dad. My nephew is 3 (turns 4 April 1) roughly 35lbs and 40" tall and has been riding in a no back booster since Christmas. I cringe when I seen BIL pull up with nephew riding in the front seat without booster or seat belt. He is not only putting my nephew is danger, he is breaking the law. I have no clue how to approach the issue with him, DH says not my kid not my business His seat before the booster was a bought used OHS that is expired. Now that OHS is sitting in my in-laws garage awaiting destruction by me, despite DH saying it's not my seat so I have no right to destroy it.
DH and I are clearly on different pages when it comes to seat safety and thinks I'm nuts for keeping DS1 rear facing and plan to keep him harnessed for as long as possible.
My in-laws, mainly FIL, are awaiting me to turn DS1 forward facing so they can pick him up every now and then. They've beared with me this long but think I'm over doing it with ERF They have a built in harness in their Chevy Venture(not sure what year) bought used and the dreaded OHS in their garage. I doubt that they would properly adjust the harness to fit DS1. So now I'm toying(money is an issue) with the idea of buying a seat just for them to use, but would they install it properly? Doubt it and it wouldn't stay installed.
How do I educate them without seeming pushy and rude?
