I was at the mall today and saw a young man/older teen with some friends. Moments before I had seen a quite pregnant teen so I guess I was a bit desensitized. This man-boy was holding a flimsy looking car-seat with an older print cover. At first glance I think it was a Century. My heart sank as I worried for the safety of this vulnerable infant. Do the parents not care? Too young and uneducated to know better? Need access to financial resources? Should I say something?
Second glance... Silly me. It's just a doll in the seat! One of those class project computerized needy dolls. They are issued with old car-seats. I didn't take a third glance to make out the brand of seat since the poor guy was probably feeling silly enough about the doll!

Oh, that's too funny. I can just picture the poor kid having to carry around that doll. Thanks for sharing!

Lol! I had one of those in high school. It was hard to install the ancient carseat as I remember.

Yes, DD had one of those dolls a month or so ago and it was hysterical! It would cry in the middle of the night and we'd hear her mumbling and rustling around trying to get a hold of it to put the key in it. They are heavy! And it came in an old Century three-point bucket.

I had one too. After just setting it in the front seat of my car, my mom told me that babies in carseats weren't supposed to be in the front. I don't believe I moved it though and I don't think I even tried to install it. Wow, I've learned a lot since then.

Ok, that's too funny. Seriously?!
Totally useless to carry the doll around at that point! Makes you wonder if the teachers stop and think at all... are they really "teaching" anything if they don't take into account student's individual situations...

Those things are hilarious - and HIGHLY annoying to the other teachers when they go off in class.

Though it is very funny to be walking around the room checking work and catch sight of the old Century seat...especially when not expecting it!

Yea, it was :thumbsdown:. He talked to the teacher and she refused to let him out of it, "It was a requirement of the class" which he had to take to graduate and she could not allow any exceptions.
