So, I'm not really mad at anyone but today we went out to visit S/O's Parents and his aunt lives kind of across the way from his parents house.
Anyway, after visiting his parents, a trip through the woods on some trails (his parents live sort of out in the country and have a lot of land) we went to his aunts house. She was going on how much ds had grown and her grand daughter is 4 as well etc,.. and then it came out I bet your out of that baby car seat like a big boy now, aren't you!? She looked straight at me and I said No he's in a car seat then she looked at S/O a little puzzled.
I think what makes me the most upset about the whole situation is that someone is telling ds that a big boy seat is anything but a car seat! I hope to keep ds harnessed at least until he is 6+, the way he is growing I am hoping we will make it to six! Anyway, I know we have all been there and I've read so many stories on here about you guys going through this sort of things and now I am little by little. Even S/O's mom mentioned about her grandson "we never had D (who is 7 riding ONLY in a seat belt) in a car seat or Booster at that age! They are nice people, but like many are uninformed and aren't to worried about being informed.
Just a little frustrated I suppose and what better place to come vent about the problem then a car seat forum.. ...I didn't have to say anything for S/O to know it bothered me, He sort of gets me with all of it I think, I don't think he 100% agrees but he says he's your son and I'll do and use whatever you think is best for him. There isn't anyone in my life that agrees or at least "gets" why I want to keep ds safe in the car! ugh it can be very frustrating and discouraging..I guess I could booster or just use a seat belt like all the other preschooler moms take my chance at luck with what happens...No Thank you.
