I need articles or something that proves that the no after market products rule isnt just for inssurance, and to discourage from using them.
My sister and brother-in-law got to take home my niece yesterday(31 days old) and today my brother-in-law and i got in to it about him saying "I'm going to have to get some of those strap covers so they don't dig in to her neck" when i told him you cannot use them he got as we call it 'david-ish' "Oh just watch me" tried to explain that it didn't come with covers because they were tested and failed with or weren't tested with so they are not safe(used it being that its the same reason as the position the handle has to be in as an example). And tried to explain that they can also push down the chest clip so in an accident it could cause internal bleeding. And that the manufacturers wouldn't be required to fix/compensate if the seat malfunctioned because it had something it wasn't tested with. Told him that the only safe thing to do is pull her shirt between the straps and her neck. So he started arguing that it's an insurance ploy "their trying to cop out of paying, they'd check if it was installed tight enough if the straps were tight and then go and try about after market products"
this is frustrating after he went on and on about how "if it's something you're that interested in and you have all this knowledge you should put it to use" and said he would follow anything I said because he knew I research this all and it's not something I'm just pulling out of thin air.
