I told the mom it was expired and she said he was a foster baby and that is the seat he came with. Why aren't social workers trained in car seats, they use them all the time.

Oh, I could tell you stories...

One of the caseworkers we work with is a CPST. She never talks about ERF, she never tells foster parents that their seats are expired, and when I actually complained about one of the transporters trying to put my 5 month old foster daughter in a cosco hbb RF, their solution was to have me do all my own transporting.
I never let transporters transport my foster children anymore. None of them know how to properly install a car seat, and half of them think any seat can be used FF or RF.

The only good thing is that the seats that our county uses are all current -no expired seats floating around. But the ones that the foster parents supply for their own foster kids - I have definitely seen expired seats.
