Carseat and broken elbow

my2kidsSafe · Jan 30, 2011

My nephew who just turned 4 two weeks ago fell today and broke his elbow. He is in a sling for 2 days until he sees an ortho on Tuesday. How can she put him in the harness, he screams when she tries.

I think I'd go to target and pick up a $35 TurboBooster and travel as little as possible until it's set/casted. And if possible, have an adult in the back with him to kee him sitting the correct way. Moving it around, you risk displacing the break.

I agree with the PP. Mostly, though, I would just keep him home and use the booster to take him to the doctor.

The only thing is the ortho is in the middle of boston, so they would bein the car for over an hour to get there. And going through major traffic.

Is she willing to drive to Forest hills or Oak Grove and take the T in?

Is he little enough to rf in any seat? I ask because when P hurt her arm we had to unhook the harness from the splitter plate, thread it under the sling, then re-hook it to the splitter plate to get her in for a day (before cast), but this would be impossible forward facing. If he's not, I vote booster too, and an adult sitting with him.
