A new mom who's a friend of mine came to visit today. I noticed that hen she strapped her 7 wk old into the seat that the harness was pretty loose, and the chest clip was too low. I asked if if she would mind if I give her a tip on how to have a better fit on the baby, and (I hope I was right) said that if she could pinch the strap at the shoulder, it was too loose, and the chest clip should be at nipple level. She tightened it right away (still not super tight, but better) and said the nurse at the hospital, when checking the seat upon mom and baby leaving said mom had it too tight, and that she should be able to fit a hand under the straps (kind of between the chest clip and the crotch strap.) The mom said she thought it was too loose, but the nurse said so...
Do the nurses who do the checks have any really training on proper seat use?
