Remember my brother and SIL who have three children - almost 7, 4.5, and infant? And they're using outgrown, expired seats that convert to booster? Can't remember which one they have now. Anyway, they harness to 40lbs and expired in 12/06. The two older ones are BOTH in them and weigh in the low 40lb range.
They did go on a long road trip after I talked to them about needing new seats - I thought maybe they were switching to booster mode. But I got an e-mail the other day from my SIL who said that when I come down next time, she wants me to help her install them correctly. She said that she spent "hours" trying to get them in tight, so I'm sure they're still using the harnesses since you don't *install* a booster.
I do not want to help install these seats! But they are adamant about not spending money on new seats (don't get me started on that )... What would you do??? Refuse to help? Install them? Buy them new seats (when they have much more income than we do)???
Thanks!
