I was looking through facebook pics of a friend of mine - her DS is the same age as mine - 19 months. He's (unfortunately) ffing since he was 11 months. I told her at the time it wasn't safe, and was against the law, but she said she's the mom and she knows best and that was that. Well, in these pics he's pretty much sideways in the seat, the straps are so loose they're wavy on his clothes and the chest clip is down to his belly!
Another friend just turned her 14 month old because "she's big and it's easier to get her in". And she's heard me rant about car seat safety before!
I wish there was more I could do than inform people, I wish the laws were more strict, or at least that the info on rfing was more available so people knew that the minimum just isn't enough. Honestly, why do people think they make seats that fit toddlers?
