So my my sister-in-law's mother watches my DS and her grandaughter three days a week. They drive in My SIL's sister's van (so the grandaughter's mom, sorry, so complicated) which is a Honda Odyssey.
The Grandaughter, is about 3 yo, and maybe a little taller than my DS, harnessed in an AOE. Her older sister, almost 7yo, is probably about 50lbs, and I'm guessing has about a 17 in torso (guessing). Anyways, so last week I'm installing DS's seat in the van and I notice that the 7yo is in the back in a backless booster. Okay, so I decide I'm going to think about this carefully before I say anything.
Well this morning, as I'm saying bye, I see the 7yo hop into the front seat, no booster. I pull out and they pull out behind me, and I can see in my rear view mirror that the shoulder belt is on her neck.
I didn't and still don't know what to do. Besides the no booster thing, which is bad enough, she's a 50lb 7yo sitting in the front passenger seat of an Odyssey! BTW, I'm guessing the van is no later than an '06.
Anyways, this is my niece (sortof) and I care about her, but I'm really nervous about what to say, since I have to see them 3 days a week and they watch my DS and everything. Oh and did I mention the AOE isn't tethered? (Tethering is mandatory in Canada) The tether is just hanging over the seat back.
Ugh. Suggestions please?!!
