Hi! A friend asked me tonight to teach her how to install a car seat. She is an occasional babysitter and the dad leaves the seat at daycare for her. It is one that the bar pulls down in front (overhead shield I think?) and it is cosco if I remember correctly. The child is 3 or 4. Don't know the details on the kid but I would estimate that he should be about at the weight limit too (he is in the same class as my nanny boy)
So 2 questions... I read on here these types of seats are not as safe, what can I tell her? This is just occasional so she would not go out and get a new seat.
And any tips on teaching her? I have a Nautilus that I can teach her the basics on (she does not have access to the seat until she gets the kid from daycare), but neither of us have kids (in college) and I have no idea how to teach someone. Is it better to learn seatbelt install or latch? And is there a way to find the manual? I like to be thorough about it and make sure we don't miss anything.
Thank you! Hope that wasn't too long, just didn't know what to tell her and figure some help is better than none.
