Did anyone else see it? Their seatbelt usage was horrible! In the 3 or 4 clips of the inside of the car, I only saw 1 person restrained properly. That was the busy over-scheduled mom. There was a child in a booster with only a lap belt (or shoulder part was behind his back), all of the older kids had seatbelts behind their backs or under their arms. The carnival dad didn't even wear his seatbelt.

It looked like to me that the harness was still in the booster and that he was not buckled at all. Though he was surely over 40#. The swap mom was telling the older kids to buckle up, why not the youngest? And those poor kids, with their diet (carnival food) their parents don't seem to care about their life longevity at all.

Yeah, that was bad! I told my DH that I didn't see anyone use a belt correctly the whole time. I was yelling at the TV, "Shoulder belts go over the shoulder. Not under the arm!"
