Donated a seat on freecycle today

Well I've been keeping on my local freecycle to see if they had anything I need and someone was on the other day saying they needed a seat for their 3 yo because her current seat is too small and has figured out how to wiggle out of it going down the road. So I have a cosco hbb with harness in my shed that I figured I could give to her. So I go to meet her today and her daughter is in a huge puffy coat in an old touriva that is listing to the side and she is so wedged in there I can imagine that it was uncomfortable. She didn't even have the straps on the highest slots so the straps were falling down off her shoulders. So I get the seat out and I told her that I could install it for her there and she was like her husband was going to be home early so he could do. And I was like are you sure, its no problem, and she said no. Then she was looking at the seat and commented on the paperclip style chest clip and said that was how she was getting out of the seat now. I told her if its that big of an issue she can go to tru and get a two piece clip for like $3. I just felt so bad letting that little girl go off like that:( But I did give her the names and numbers of all the safe kids techs in her area and told her that they could help get her a free seat and they would install it for her and teach her how to use it and she seemed happy about that so hopefully she calls them and gets in to see someone.
