My cousin just had his first baby (well, it was his fiancee that did the work). The were being discharged from the hospital and the nurse told him that he need to bring the seat up to the room before they could go. He told her that he had "a big seat" in the car for the baby, not a basket. (He didn't know the lingo)
The nurse MADE him send his mom out to buy a basket carseat for the baby, cause "that's the only thing that's safe for a new baby" They didn't really have a ton of money to spend on the seat anyway, that's why I recommended the ol' Scenera and helped them get it installed PERFECTLY!
So they listened to the nurse, took out the Scenera and put it in the trunk, and used the brand-new snugride which they didn't actually need. At least they remembered what I said about 5 pt restraints and didn't get the evenflo carseat that was only$40.
I was so steamed. I wanted to go up there and advocate for them, but he told me not to. He said he wanted an extra seat anyway, so it was fine. OOOOOH, I was so mad for them.
