There is a Britax Marathon that is left outside my DD's preschool classroom (common occurance if someone else picks the child up). This classroom is for older 3's-young 4 year olds so I am assuming this child is forward facing. The carseat tether has the D-Ring attached to the tether strap.
Would you think they are using the D-Ring to tether the seat forward facing in their car? If it was used rearfacing I could see keeping the D-Ring on the tether strap, but the odds are not likely with the age of these kids. I thought I recall reading that the D-Ring can be used for forward facing when using a previous row's seatbelt as a tether anchor, though I don't know the specifics.
If you were in this sitation, would you leave a note on the seat talking about the D-Ring only being used for a rearfacing install and only used for forward facing tethers in rare instances in passenger vans?
