Mom goes to the Ped for a check-up for her 7 year old (who's 40lbs, ~43 inches). She's currently harnessed in a Maestro. She mentions to the Dr about car seats and $&@#)$ hit the fan...
Dr SENDS THE 7 YEAR OLD to stand out in the hall by herself. Then lays into mom, saying that she's "pyschologically damaging" her daughter by having her harnessed when none of her peers are, and she'll be ridiculed and Mom will see the effects of this down the road, with her daughter's self-esteem. Uhh, say wha?
This is the same Ped that, when another friend asked about RFing, said, "well, I guess... but isn't it more work for you? That seems like a bother." and also told her that he's sure she's the ONLY parent in the practice to do such a thing :scratcheshead:
So yeah...
