Shocked...

Yesterday pulling into daycare I witnessed a man putting a graco infant bucket seat into his car, without a base.... FORWARD FACING!!! I was in shock, he pulled away before I could even get out of my car....

This child also had to be 2-3 years old, head way over the top of the bucket seat.... I told lo's daycare teacher bc she is a tech, maybe she can find out who it was or keep an eye out for whoever this was and talk to them....

They were also driving a brand new $35,000+ car.... Seriously buy your kid a carseat....

Sadly I see that quite a bit here. I just don't get it and I don't understand how they even get the seat or base installed in the car that way - it would take a lot of work.

My neighbor puts their 2.5 year old FF in an infant seat. They buckle him in then put the seat in the car and buckle the seat belt around the front of it. Super easy and quick :(. And not any in way safe. I leave the room and don't even look anymore when I see them leaving (my couch faces the picture window that overlooks their driveway). I've offered them a seat several times.

I really don't understand how anyone could be that clueless. Its really not that hard to read the manual. Or even just look and notice that your kid looks way too big for a tiny baby seat.

So sad. That's great that you talked to someone.

When I see this, it makes me angry! If they have enough money to buy themselves a luxury car, they can spend $40 on their innocent child.
