Say something to mom or no?

I introduced the little guy's mom to ERF and she jumped on the bandwagon, so she's down with the idea of car seat safety. Little guy is the one in my siggy. But his mom always has his chest clip on his belly. I've tried fixing it and saying "whoops mommy forgot to put this up at armpit level" so she could hear me- but she's never changed where she puts his chest clip. Most of the time he rides in my car I just put him in myself so I know it's where it should be.

Do I outright say something to her? She's my best friend but I'm not a mom, so it's kind of hard to tell her she's wrong. Or does it not matter all that much as long as the straps are still snug and he's ERF already? :confused:

It does matter... you don't want the chest clip crushing his organs in a crash.
Tell her you read something online about it. People believe anything they read online :whistle:
