I held a private seat check on Saturday from 12-4 at our station from 12-4 for our members and their families/friends.
It was a flop. We notified members in our monthly news letter too.
I had the Regent from KDMF (that is going to a family this week) I was busy reading the instructions and practicing. SO the day really wasn't a waste.
I had ONE person.
It was the dad that I had loaned my Evenflo Express combination seat to back last year. His son will be 3 in August, stats: 34lbs, 38 inches, torso 12inches. The ex-wife had CUT the harness of his Cosco combination seat last October! She couldn't get the buckles to release (probably b/c of food debris) so she cut them! They were using the seat as a BPB for a 2 y/o! I showed the dad the KDMF video and site.
They are really financially strapped. So, I loaned my Express (expires this december) to him and the little boy has 1.5 inches of torso grow left in the harness. :thumbsup:
In December, I'm going to work on getting a GN for the little boy. My friend gets his big employee discount from Walmart at that time. So, hopefully I can raise some $$ for my cousin's memorial fund to buy him a seat.
He also gave me TWO nasty infant seats to destroy! One was an Evenflo that expired in 2003 the other was a Century Smart Fit expired in 2005.
I had plenty of time to saw them in half. :thumbsup:
PS: I know this thread is worthless without pictures lol! So , I will try to post pics of the nasty seats later.
