Okay, first of all, how do I convince pretty much everyone in my family that DD should not be wearing her winter coat in her car seat? I've explained it to them a million times, but they just don't believe that it's really that dangerous. They say that it's too much of a pain to take her coat off in the car. Any links would be very much appreciated. :thumbsup:
And here's my rant...
DD's father and I are separated. DD stays with him at his parent's house during the day on Mondays. I send her there in her Snugride with a heavy blanket over her, and I pack her winter coat in the diaper bag. When they bring her home, she has her winter coat on in the car seat, the chest clip is slid all the way down to her crotch, and the straps are too loose! I've explained to her father that it's unsafe, I've demonstrated how to buckle her in, and nothing is working! They refuse to put her in the seat correctly. We're getting ready to purchase a convertible seat for their car, because she has almost outgrown her Snugride at 10 months. What can I do to make sure that she's buckled in correctly when she's at their house? I hate not being able to be in control of my daughter's safety.
