Seriously. Serious questions here. We can't help parents make better choices if we don't really understand the reasons why they don't get it. Why don't they read the directions, the labels, the info we've given them (whether as a CPST or as an educated friend)? If you know you made mistakes before, and now you are resolving those issues, what were the reasons for the mistakes? I get that many are truly honest...I'm not sure I mean those (like accidentally forgetting to buckle your child in the seat and catching it as you pull out of the driveway), but the doozies, like not using top tethers if you have them, installing wrong, etc. etc. etc.
I know I can't save everyone or every child and I know that there are accidents that are just NOT surviveable or that there will be serious injuries no matter what. But why on earth are educated, otherwise rational parents, making incredibly stupid decisions regarding their kid's safety in the car every day?
What gives??
