my MOM is doing terribly with car seat safety. I wanted to think about putting my daughter in a booster in her car but it is going to have to wait until my daughter can buckle and tighten the belt completely herself!
I know she just wont tighten the belt or put it through the correct way.
Just last night I went to pull the GNs out of mom's car as she was going awayfor a trip. When I leaned over on dd seat, the seat moved with me -- seatbelt not locked (since July 4 apparently!!!!). Mom was going to take it out herself thinking that she and her friends would take her car, but when she couldn't get the top tether off she simply buckled the belt back in without locking the belt and never telling me. Then for the last two weeks she has brought my kids to and from camp. In fact, she feigned innocence untll I told her we'd need to bring the car to the dealer then that day to get the belt checked b/c it was obviously broken if it was unlocking by itself!
my mom knows better -- she has seem me in snow storms, heat waves and thunderstorms fighting with those belts to get those seats tight arggh!
anyone else have a similar story?
