I passed :)

I meant to post earlier this week, but, I passed my CPST course. We almost didn't get to do our check, and then we ended up having to end our check early because the property manager complained, but, We got to count it as a seat check :thumbsup:

We checked a couple of the class members car seats, and we had one person come in. One of the people from class had her triumph harness threaded through the cover incorrectly, so we had to take the seats apart to put them through right (The instructors were worried, they had never had to do that), and untwist the ropes (aka harness). She desided not to RF her 24 lb 22 month old, though :(

I can't wait to get active with the coalition in my town, and to stay active in the one where I took the class.

Congrats!! I can't believe anyone who takes the class wouldn't want to ERF, especially with such a light kid. :(


I know. she just kept saying "but she's so close to the limit :confused: I told her the limit on her seat was 30 lbs, but I dont know. There was a guy in the class who's child was small enough to RF and he had a MA, but he had the kid FF. :confused:

I have a coworker who has an MA for her 11 month old, 25-27ish lbs dd, and she is ridiculously excited about FFing her at 1 year. I've tried to explain the benefits of ERF but I get that same old "She doesn't like it RFing". In all reality, she probably just doesn't like not being held, that's the kind of kid she is... but mom wants to be able to see her.... I love the mom, she's a wonderful mom, loves her dd, but I think she tunes me out when I go all ERF on her.
