My neighbours have an 18 month old little girl. She's forward facing. Yesterday I glanced at her in her car seat and noticed the straps were WAY below her shoulders and almost slipping off. I'm wondering if I should say something and if so, how to phrase it.
For background, they bought her seat (a 3-in-1) when she was 10 months and put it forward facing. I noticed and told the mum it was supposed to be rear facing. I helped her install it rear facing but she phoned her husband and told him off for doing it wrong. She latched on to the legal aspect but not the safety aspect. I did tell her my dd was still rear facing (9 months older than hers). Of course, they turned her round again at 12 months and the dad was cool with me for a while. The point is, I really don't want to piss them off. They are good neighbours and we live in townhouses so we are physically very close. They probably already think I stuck my nose in where it wasn't wanted.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
