I will not go against the law/minimum recommendations on the car seat. If a parent is unwilling to comply, I will grab the Senior Tech and let them deal with it, if there is no Senior Tech, or I'm doing a private check, I will decline to install the seat the way they want it done, and will refer them to the manual. I refuse to put myself into a position of liability.

I would never do this. I would recommend best practice, but if the parent chooses to install FFg I would document, show them how to install FFg and leave it at that. I do not see my role as playing hardball at all. I see it as educating parents
At a seat check event, I would begrudgingly help them install their seat FF, after talking to them and having sr checker talk to them.You would refuse to install a seat FFing for a child under 2 years old??? EVEN if they meet all the minimums?
:yeahthat: When I work at events, we are usually cop heavy on techs, and several always show up in full uniform. I can't imagine with cops there we'd have a problem with a parent not wanting to follow the law. And another one of the cops is an accident investigator or something like that. So she is very good at convincing parents.Most of the check events I work have at least 1 police officer present. They will come and discuss things with a parent/caregiver if necessary to get them to at least meet the legal minimums.
