DD is very aware of why she rides RFing and how she should be buckled in. I have talked to her about it since she was old enough to understand so that she can always remind OTHER people that she needs to be buckled with her harness snug & chest clip in the proper place...
We were leaving the mall yesterday, I opened DDs door and she climbed into her seat as she always does when I unloaded the stroller, etc... It's our standard routine except yesterday I varied from it the slightest bit and almost made a horrible mistake
It was very hot & humid so I started the car to get the AC going and closed DDs door after it kicked in. I finished loading the stroller, climbed into the car and started backing up. Luckily DD yelled to me "I'm not buckled!!"
I can't believe I almost drove off without her buckled. Something as simple as closing her door at a different point made my brain think she was all set. I always leave her door open until I'm done loading everything then buckle her and close it. I'm just so glad I've always told her to make sure she is buckled every time the car moves!
