Dh is upset that I make dd take her coat off before I buckle her. I have not had luck finding her a carseat safe coat for this year yet, at a reasonable price. Money is REALLY tight right now. He doesn't believe that a coat can compress enough in a crash to cause injury, let alone ejection. He says the car seat techs don't know what they are talking about.
I told him I would not make our daughter a crash test dummy and he would have to live with it, and he will, but I would really like some proof to convince him. He was anti-erf until he watched the crash test videos. He really is a good guy. But he can't see how a coat could be dangerous. He was once in a serious accident in a car with too many people, no one wearing seatbelts, and there were no life-threatening injuries. He doesn't have the healthy fear of what could happen that I do after working in special ed and seeing the results of improperly restrained children.
