I just met a lady online through FB , who has her son riding in an AOE ( 40lb limit) and hes over 45lbs ( I asked her to weigh him asap) , she also has a Maestro but im assuming its outgrown since it only harnesses to 47lbs
She just told me she has zero funds to get him a new seat , and no means in the immediate future too - she doesnt drive often but her MIL does with the son in those seats , so I made sure to give strict orders she NOT allow her son to ride in either seat until weight has been confirmed for the Maestro - the AOE is done , hes outgrown it by weight , more than likely height ( cant use top slot) plus it has the recall she wasnt aware of
Now heres the other part - yeah theres more.....The dad ( ex I guess?) allows him to ride in a low back booster because hes outgrown all other seats .....I told her she needs to not allow the ex to take him until he gets him a proper seat , she needs to stand her ground and make sure her son is safe and hes clearly not in a NBB - she said she doesnt think that will fly because of their custody agreement , so I said if worse comes to worse and he tries to take the child , call the cops, they will see he does NOT have appropriate means of transportation for him and she can go from there
The ONLY seats I think that would even work are the Nauti & Frontiner correct? Is there a cheaper option at all anywhere? Im willing to fund some of this new seat just to get her son into one , but I cant afford much either and I have a few girlfriends with children in combinations , but they are either still using them or would want money , and probably not a fair price since they are well greedy to say the least
I dont know what other options I have and I feel terrible Shes so clueless and well , poor which doesnt help things
