I've been working with a mom who has two boys. 33lb 3.5yr old & 19lb 1yr old. A month ago I did a spiel to my mom's club. She was really receptive to what I had to say and wanted me to check her seats. I did and the 3.5yr old was in a hbb and the baby was in an infant seat with a 20lb weight limit. At that time I told her the oldest should still be harnessed and she should look for a convertible seat for the baby. I helped her reinstall the infant seat because it was very loose. I told her how the straps should be and gave her a booklet.
I met back up with her today. She actually turned her oldest rf in a AOE and had the baby in a rf t-shield seat that expired two years ago. They were going out of town today. I told her she couldn't use t-shield seat anymore and she had to get a new seat for him right now. The straps on both kids seats were tangled and loose. I reminded her of the straps again.
When I got home I remembered that I had a ff seat that I got free from the last car seat check up event because it was 2 years old. The lady was giving them away, so I took one. Luckily I did. I called that mom up and said I have a plan.
The oldest went tethered ff and the baby went rf in the AOE. She kept saying she was being an inconvenience and I didn't need to help her. I told her I love helping people and it's no big deal.
I'm so happy she wanted to rf her oldest again. Unfortunately it didn't work for her situation. Now if she only pays attention the straps.
