I see many of you (who are also CPSTs/car seat wonders) Nanny or do home day care.
I interviewed a potential provider for the LO coming next month. Everything about her was AWESOME. She takes 3 babies, mine would be the 3rd, so this is better than center care. She's very flexible with my schedule, I can come in and nurse, yadda yadda. The only thing that struck a funny chord was that she does transport the children on occassion. She said she would let me know in advance but she has an 8 pass minivan (didn't see it) and uses what looks like Graco SR22s for the tiny ones. Besides checking expiration, making sure the bases are installed to my liking, making sure she knows how tight the harness should ACTUALLY be, that it should be at or below LO's shoulders, and reminding her that the chest clip goes at LOs chest, what else do I need to do? She said she had a blemish free driving record and she's a mom herself to 2 very respectful 14 yo twins (met them)....
Ugh, this is weighing so heavy on my mind. What did you do to ensure your day care provider had your LOs safe?
