BuyBuyBaby has a KITCHEN booster seat listed on its website with all the CAR booster seats!!!! It is the Eddie Bauer Pop-up. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Hopefully people will think (and read the description) before using that as a car booster seat, but I am horrified at that it is even listed with the car booster seats. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Wow. What's even scarier is that from reading their description and the fact that it's under "Car Boosters", you really would think you were buying a comfortable car booster than would keep your child secure. And even comes with a 3-pt harness that the other boosters don't have... :rolleyes:

I know this is a simple mistake, but I am disappointed in BuyBuyBaby. While it is probably the webmaster who made the mistake, I am still disappointed. I have always been so impressed with BuyBuyBaby's staff, selection, etc. This is only one mistake, but it is one that could possibly lead to some VERY scary misusuage.

Idiot web designers :rolleyes: I'm sure they'll fix it soon.

A few years ago, K-Mart did the same thing. I went back and forth with their CS and they kept insisting that if I had a concern about the safety of a product I should contact the manufacturer. Totally missed the point! I even forwarded a message from the manufacturer stating it should never be used in a car, but still nothing. :mad:

What a big oops on the category. I actually have that fold up booster for DD2 to use when we go out to eat or travel. Another mom on the board recommended it to me. I hope nobody buys it thinking it's appropriate for the car and that the site is updated ASAP to correct the item category, good catch guys.

people can be stupid. I remember going through some photos a while back of infant products and one person was using their bouncy seat as a car seat ugh!

Ugh!! I actually saw that in person in a car parked near me. I called the police, who proceeded to laugh at me. That was years ago, though, before carseat safety became more of a priority.
