oh my. I don't even know where to start.

The tiny girl on the backless booster missing a cover?

The shot of her in a harnessed seat with the straps falling off?

How about no mention of erf, and boosters only required til age 6? (granted, I believe Mississippi booster law is "under 7".)

or maybe no mention of locking the seatbelt when you install the base?

yipes. I believe he has good intentions, but that's terrible execution.

ps, here's the fb page that's mentioned in the video - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Richard-Schwartz-Associates/176683332345970

and oh man, I am so torn about whether to "like" the fb page. I don't want to encourage it, and definitely don't want it on my profile, but I want to see if anything is being said about the video.

It's like the poster child video of what not to do!! It reminds me of being a kid in a restaurant and you have to find the 15 things wrong with this picture on the kids menu!

Oh goodness...it's a good try....but not good enough to save a child. I admire his very uneducated attempt though.
I sent him a nice note and asked him to come here to learn what best practices are--maybe if more of us did that, we could convince him to redo his video.

"There are three different kinds of car seats: infant, car seats, and booster." SMH. I agree, what a mess.

Hey, crunchy! You found something to motivate me, LLOL

I commented on their FB post (you don't have to like them to do it). I was so nice it almost killed me.

Looks like they pulled it from both youtube and fb. Hopefully they'll look into the comments and see just how much was wrong.

I went to watch it and it said it was Private. Boy, I do hope he stops by and checks out this site! In the short while I have been here I am learning tons!! (And I felt I was pretty aware before just by reading and going to carseat checks with our seats) Showed me!

Me too! It would be great if he could get a CSO tech to help! All the mistakes in the video were SO common. It could be a great learning tool!

Whoever is maintaining that Facebook page also has some pretty basic grammar and usage issues going on, for a law office especially. I hope they rework the video.
