My boyfriend's mom babysits a 2.5 year old and 9 month old. She picks them up and brings them back to her house to watch them and takes them on outings during the day. The other day when I was over there and she had just gotten home with the kids I saw the car seat that the 2.5 year old rides in and my jaw dropped. The mom of the kids provides her with an infant car seat for the 9 month old which is good but she has her own car seat for the 2.5 year old and it is soooooooooooooooooooo old and expired!! I used to ride in this type of car seat when I was a kid and I'm almost 20! It's the kind that has the shield that goes over the kids head then buckles. It doesn't even have a chest clip. I don't feel comfortable at all trying to convince her to buy a new seat because I know for a fact she won't and RF is completely out of the question. My boyfriend knows how important car seat safety is to me and that I RF to at least 3 years old so should I maybe try to get him to talk to her about it? I had someone I babysit for offer me one of their extra car seats a couple weeks ago because their son outgrew it. I know it has never been in an accident so should I see if they still have it and offer it to my boyfriend's mom?
I've attached a picture of what it kind of looks like. The one attached is more what the seat I rode in when I was a kid looked like. The one she uses looks even older and it's really thin plastic in some places and like I said before has no chest clip.
