I met a lady, Beth at a ladies group and have spent quite a few months with her in the group. I recently learned she was a CST when another lady, Ann and I decided we wanted to carpool with our children. I ERF my 2yr old and my friend Ann has a 3yr old and uses a high backer booster. I have never carpooled another child who is in a car seat or booster in my car. Now Beth has already dissed both of our seats ..mine a Lamaze TFP and Ann's an Eddie Bauer. She says both are not up to her standards and feels there are safer seats IE. Radian and Britax we could be using. I was shocked to hear this from her. I did let her now I did very extensive research, bought two seat I returned and was on the carseat.org boards for weeks deciding on my seat for my child. I will be seeing her soon and we even discussed her looking at my install. I'm not sure I want to go there. I do support anyone who puts the time and heart into becoming a CST so I'm not knocking it. I was just offended at her quick to judge comment or that I had no clue on car seat safety and selection of car seat use. Honestly I will do or buy whatever is necessary to keep my as safe as possible in my car.
