So, WWYD, and then I'll tell you what actually happened.
Say the grandmother is babysitting a toddler. He is about 29-30 pounds. There is an emergency and one of their minor kids (the parent's sister) ends up in the ER after a car accident. She is single and a minor, and grandmother has to go up to the hospital, because it's not a good situation at all. Grandmother calls the child's mother and father at all numbers, no answer. Hospital is roughly 10 minutes away, down an access road to a highway running through town. Grandmother has no carseat - just an infant bucket - because she was only supposed to have the toddler for a couple hours and they don't typically ever go anywhere.
Options:
#1. Kid goes in car on the seat with a regular safety belt lap belt across his lap and the shoulder harness behind him.
#2. Kid gets crammed into bucket seat, properly installed in the car.
My friend is FURIOUS with her mothers choice. Like "you can't see my kid anymore" mad, which I think is insane, regardless of which way she chose. And the sister is fine now, btw.
