I was just watching America's Most Wanted and there was the most horrible misuse I'ver ever seen. The kid in the carseat and his mom were carjacked at gunpoint and driven around. In this scene the people in the car were REALLY driving on streets not just pretending, you could tell from the background. well the kid who was probably 3 was in some type of FF Evenflo seat and of course the chest clip was at his crotch, one shoulder was completely out of the harness, but the best part...if you looked closely you could see the buckle tongues by his crotch. It wasn't even buckled!!!! They just did the chest clip! Now I know this was just a show and everything, but ummm....don't they have directors and stuff who lead the actors?? Don't they figure for "realistic" purposes you should probably atleast buckle the car seat?? The scary part though was...they weren't completely acting...they were driving on busy highways!!! Glad that wasn't my kid!

:eek: Ugh, that irritates me! I love AMW, I watched tonight (on the west coast, it just got over), but I was also online and not paying close attention. I missed that part. :(
