So, in the past week or so, I've:
- gotten the local church rummage sale people to trash 2 ancient carseats they were trying to sell (one of them was at least 20 years old - all metal and pastel pleather!)
- recommended ERF and buying a seat that harnesses over 40lbs to a dad at playgroup - I think at least he will wait until the kid is walking before turning FF
- put up posters promoting the next clinic in my area
- discouraged one mom from using a booster with her small 3yo
- corrected bad install of a friend's roundabout and installed her snugride (she's due any day!)
- Unfortunately, I also misquoted provincial law and suggested that one caregiver was doing something illegal (big 3yo in booster) rather than just unsafe
Of course, all I've been doing is obsessing about the last one - I hate being wrong.
Also, someone I know was given a $300 ticket at one of last weekend's car seat spot checks! I wish I knew the details, but she has two under 4...I hope they were at least in seats, but I don't think they give tickets unless its intentional non/misuse.
