Was pulled over for speeding, which was questionable anyway. Cop saw that my son (2.5) had his arms out of the seat belt. He has done this for months now and we always get on him and make him put his arms back in. I had stopped and then the cop asked me to pull up further before he walked up to my car. I am so livid as the ticket says I failed to restrain the child properly. I've spent hours researching the best car seat and just got him a new one about a month ago. On his last seat he was able to pull the chest clip down and slide his arms out too. I've researched and asked questions on forums but there is no solution to this problem. This is going to cost me lots of money as I had a mandatory court date and I'll have to go to some class which is difficult because we own our own business and I'm exclusively breastfeeding my 7 month old. Is there anything I can say, do or prove for my court date?
