At BRU today I noticed a tiny baby in a Snugride with an improvised 3pt harness. 
after talking to mom and dad, I found out they had bought the seat from a police officer friend and had it looked at by a local CPST-I. The harness had been this way when they bought it and of course they thought I was nuts, but once I showed them on a brand new seat they askede to fix there's. The harness was routed from the bottom of the seat, between the cover and foam to the covers top harness slot, down to the buckles, thru and back up thru the same slot in the cover, thru to the splitter plate:thumbsdown:
I was astounded when they told me who had looked at the seat and told them it was ok....she was one of my instructors. Should I say anything, to her or anyone else? It just blew me away that this would slip past her. The parents had so much faith in her, and that she had checked the seat, i ALMOST questioned myself, that i was wrong; until I saw the empty hole un the cover by babys hip, then I knew I was correct.
