4-6-year-old NO carseat/booster. Report?

I just watched a 4-6-year-old at my kid's sport class (for 4-6-year-olds)get out of his car with no carseat or booster. I don't know if he even had a belt on. In Illinois there is an online page you can report the license plate to. I wrote it down.
I guess that's the best bet? They just send literature to the parents, from what I understand.

Nice family, but come on! No seat at all?

I make reports to be a buckle buddy at least twice a month. Sit in a target parking lot for half an hour and you'll have a list of plates :( .

Honestly, I would go crazy if we didn't have it.

Wish we had something like that here. It is legal in my state to ride in seat belt only and that sucks so bad!

:yeahthatsad:

I swear I can hear the police dep. operator roll their eyes at me when I call to report. (Yes I have reported several times).


I totally agree with this statement! :yeahthatlove: I haven't reported anything lately, but I love having to explain how I know that this child's seat is installed wrong (ex: when I see a RF infant only installed FF!). Otherwise, I think the agency responses well.

We have a hotline we can call with plate numbers and city they were spotted in. They send out car seat safety information to the owner of the vehicle with a letter about why they are receiving the info (they were spotted incorrectly or not using a car seat, etc.) I've called 911 when I spot something illegal (which isn't much with our HORRIBLE laws) like a 1 yr old not in anything :(
