My sister is having a baby in January and wants to use the same car seat she used for her DD 2 years ago. It's a nice clean seat, manufactured 03/2004 but it's only a 3 point harness.
When she brought it up from the basement today I told her she shouldn't be using it because it's a 3 point harness. She said she didn't care and that the baby would be fine.
I was so upset, I come from a family of selfish adults, and "put yourself before your child" siblings so it's really hard for me to keep my mouth shut. I gave up trying to convince them to put my niece rear-facing
I'm at my wits end! Do I give in and buy the baby a new car seat (My sister's know they can act like this and I will provide their kids with things) or do I just cross my fingers the baby will be okay and not take responsibility when it gets killed in an accident?
I'm already saving my money for a chicco keyfit or SS1 for my OWN car and the baby isn't due for 6 more months. Why do my sisters have to have their prioritys so mixed up.
My other sister just put my 38 lb niece in a backless booster. "WE DONT HAVE THE MONEY" I would love to buy her a regent or radian and the other 2 nieces marathons but I know they would just sell them and keep the money for themselves.
