At the vet's office there was a kid in an infant seat approaching the height limit. I'd guess 10 months? I said "oh, he's almost out of that seat," and we had a brief discussion about total height limits vs torso length and protecting their heads, where I think I made that clear. Then she said she'd already bought the new seat after reading Consumer Reports and "all the reviews online." I told her not to do that, only to look here because people don't know how to install their seats. She said that made sense. Then, my dog distracted me as I asked "what seat did you buy?" and she said a Graco Nautilus. I had a vague flash of oh no! but she was leaving and my dog was sniffing.
I feel bad. I didn't actually know that the Nautilus was forward facing (I've never shopped for those, so I don't know them), I'm not a tech so I don't like to misrepresent myself, but I could have said *something* about rear facing. Boo. Do people here have standard lines that they say so they don't miss opportunities like this? I'm sad.
