That is sad that they chose to take the covers off. If you email be sure to post back any response you get.
^^PP^^ Not ALL of us daycare providers are, um, dumb, lol! I promote car seat safety in my daycare, and may have lost a few clients during the interview process. One told me her 10mo was FF so I talked to her about it and helped her RF her son again & get the seat in right. Another, I offered to show crash test videos on youtube, she agreed, & we talked about RF until at least 2yrs (13mo, 18lb FF) but she also never signed. I am very nice with the way I go about it & don't think I come off as judgemental.
That said, my dd went to a regulated home daycare as an older infant & even though her infant seat was there, the provider was FF her when they'd go out! My dd didn't FF until 26mo. She is 9 now. I was so livid when I found out! There were other bad things too....
