I think everyone of the 33 carseats we saw today were either installed incorrectly or not installed at all (latter with no children). The worst I saw was:
---evenflo infant seat from 1998--labels almost peeled off completly--dad brought it in to get installed for baby being born in 3 weeks--he left to buy a new one
---OHS from 2001--grandma brought it in to be installed for a 2 1/2 yr old (child not in it currently)---she left to get a new one
---tons installed with both UAS and seatbelt

The best I saw:
---23 mth old 23 lbs child turned back RF
---twin newborns in SS1s
---13 mth old staying RF
---parents coming in to get carseat checked before babies arrive

It was an awesome day and so glad to see that 33 children are safer because of the technicians today and the parents that cared enough to bring them in.

I should give you all a report after I work a seat check event in Detroit! ;) Basically 100% misuse, and a lot of that is simply non-use. :eek:
