Disapointed in fellow tech/co-worker.

I had to call in one of my co-workers today to help out. I had over 20 moms and babies being discharged and there was just no way I could check all their seats by myself (the person who was supposed to be working with me called out). This particular co-worker is awesome to work with. She's always preaching best practice and seems to really know her stuff. She did the Dorel Booster Webinar and even texted me afterward to comment on how great the info was. Well any way she wasnt' planning on working today so she had to bring her son in with her. She pulled in to the parking lot while I was outside helping a dad install his seat and what do I see...her 10yo average size kiddo not only not in a booster (this I would have dismissed as it is possible he could pass the 5-step test in her car) but he was in the front seat!

IDK, I'm just a little disappointed. I really thought she was better than that.

One of the techs I work with does that too

heck the head of our state coalition has her 9 year old up front in a backless booster. It's very sad

luckily a couple other techs and I are planning on working on getting a front seat law.

The head of my SafeKids told my (then 4'3"ish) 9yo that she was big enough not to need a booster. Luckily, my daughter knows better.

Hypocrites suck.

We some some awesome seats/installs today at karate and then the kids jumped in, parents pulled off w/o buckling the kids. Maybe the kids buckled during the drive. But...not good.

And I was taught that if a kid at a check is 8, no booster. That's the law. Doesn't need it.

Legally maybe not.

Disapointed in fellow tech/co-worker.
