How would you all respond to this. This friend texted me the other day asking for advice on a new seat for her 8-9 month old daughter. I gave a huge list of seats...reasons I liked them/didn't...offered to meet up with her to let her try some in her vehicle. Told her some of the choice was preference...depended upon whether she thoughther daughter would probably outgrow by height/weight first, fit in her vehicle, ease of use for her...and whether she intended to keep her rear facing to the new recommendations (and then quoted them in a short sentence). Here is what I got in response (below). So...do I let it go at this point...(Eddie Bauer was not on my list...). Maybe 6 months ago or so I forwarded the link to Joel's page/video...just sharing it and told her I knew she wasn't at the point yet...just something to think about going forward. Should I just let all the carseat talk go at this point or is there a nice way to address this back?
"Thanks Amanda for all the info! So much to consider. I asked you because I knew you had done a ton of research! I started looking online a little yesterday and saw a nice Eddie Bauer one but none are available in stores to see just have to look online so that is a little scary since we can't actually see them. But got great reviews of being in an accident etc. Sarah is almost 19 pounds right now and probably about 26 or so inches long so she is definitely getting up there. I doubt I'll make her rear facing for 2 years just seems excessive and her poor legs already touch the seat so she will be squished if she has to stay in the rear facing for two years."INDENT]
