Wondering if anyone has a simple handout (one-pager would be ideal) that covers basics and 'best practices' for car seats, and in particular the benefits of ERF? I'm asking because I recently started using the carpool lane at DS' nursery school and twice now, the teachers who walk the kids to the cars have expressed surprise. One walked DS to the other side of the car, because she couldn't imagine a 4yo in a RF seat. Another asked if he was outgrowing his seat; when I showed her that he still had room above his head, and that he was under the weight limits, she tutted about his legs being bent.
I'm not upset about it - both teachers were quite nice about it, and in the two seconds I had, I tried to indicate that it was not only correct but safer - but it occurs to me that they see a lot of car seats, and might be in a position to influence proper usage, or at least comment on unsafe usage. If nothing else they might be able to teach the kids some simple rules - chest buckle high, can't pinch an inch, I don't know. I'd love to give them a sheet that provides food for thought. Suggestions?
