Question Free seat program in WA?

Long story short, I've been watching my friend's great niece a lot lately.

She's 9 months (17 lbs) and pretty close to outgrowing her bucket seat by height. It's an Evenflo something, but she's got plenty of space left in my KF30 and CCO.

So, she needs a convertible. Her family can not afford one at all, so I was wondering if WA has a free seat program or a way for them to get one.

They don't have a car, and when my friend (the baby's great aunt) drives them sometimes, mom takes baby out to hold her a LOT. She also refused to buckle in the bucket when I drove her once. Obviously the car didnt move until she was properly restrained, but still.

I will not give her one of my seats or buy one for her. Slippery slope.

Have her go to Mary Bridge's center for childhood safety's weekly tuesday morning car seat checks. http://www.multicare.org/marybridge/calendar/?filters[]=4

They have sceneras and for a small donation, they will be able to supply you with one. They ask for $20 but really, they are grateful for any amount you can afford. If you dont have cash or a check on you at the time you can take a donation envelope home with you and send the money at a later date. Child must be there to qualify.

Thank you! That sounds perfect. I'll let the mom know. Maybe baby's great aunt or grandma could drive them.

I really have no problem helping this family out and watching baby every once in a while, but I need it to be strictly that. Mom has already started asking me for money and diapers and things like that. I really prefer to direct her towards services and let her take it from there.
