I saved the neighbor girl's life

I went across the street yesterday and the neighbor was working on his car. He opened the car door to show me something and I peered in with the comment, "Oh I love car seats, what kind is this one?" and then I gave it a little wiggle to check installation. I jokingly said, "Oh, it's a little loose!" and then we both realized that it wasn't even buckled in!:eek: Now this family is pretty good about seat use from everything I've seen, so we were both shocked. Apparently, the older boy had accidentally unbuckled the seat when he was in the car and no one had realized it. Luckily, they hadn't driven around like that. But they easily could've! So I saved Cassidy's life!

When I told my DH, he just said, "See, I told you you need to start some sort of car seat business." He knows I'm obsessed, but is also glad I am so we can do everything to keep our girls safe.

I learned to double check our seats when my niece was riding w/me every day--she accidentally unbuckled her brother's carseat and my son's several times, but wouldn't say anything to me. I finally got her to understand that she had to tell me about her mistake--that she wouldn't be in trouble, but that I had to know so I could fix it right away. It happens so easily.
