I went to one yesterday as part of a mini-carnival/ open house of the day care/ child fingerprinting/ id, etc. and I wasn't overly impressed. It was raining and there was nowhere to park out of the rain, so I'd like to give the police officers the benefit of the doubt, but they really didn't do much.
They had me fill out a form with my vehicle info and the kid's info, then they took down the model & serial numbers off the two car seats I brought with me. I had the Tribute RF in the center and the officer just checked for tightness. He unbuckled it, complimented me on my use of a tightly rolled towel, then put it back in himself. They left the MR alone, and didn't say anything else. IIRC, I should have been the last one to touch the seat. They didn't even check if J fit in the seat or if the harness was in the right slot
So I guess I'm asking if that is typical of a car seat check by the state police, or if there's more that should have happened?
