Last night, my son rolled out of bed, landed on his shoulder, and broke his collar bone. He's in an immobilizing sling very similar to this one: http://www.braceshop.com/productcart/pc/ProCare-Sling-and-Swathe-51p1889.htm
He has to wear it so that his shoulder doesn't move much so the clavicle can heal properly. He's expected to be in it for about 2 weeks. We currently have him RF in a MyRide65 in the middle seat with a seatbelt install. Today, we had to drive him around in a FF Marathon in my husband's car before he had the sling because it's just too hard to put him in RF right now. He can ease himself in backwards into a FF seat pretty easily. So, we're going to turn him FF in the MyRide for a few weeks until he's healed up, or until he can comfortably put a little pressure or pull with that shoulder.
Now, we have two problems with the carseat. 1. How can we possibly strap him in with the immobilizing sling on??? I don't see how we can get the straps securely under the sling, but it attaches in the back, so we may not be able to put it on after strapping him in. 2. How can we properly tighten his straps without putting pressure on his collar bone or his shoulder?
Thank you so much!
