So, I have determined the 2 firestations by my house no nothing! UGHH!! no wonder no one properly does the carseats here.
Here is my issue(This may be long, sorry).
I went to get help on installing my frontier with seatbelt(because my son is 47.6 pounds and I needed latch removed and seatbelt on).
Well...............so, they were having a carseat check at the local firestation this past saturday. I stopped in.
Tech: what are you here for? Your seats are solid?(After not even getting in my car to really check them-I had 4 seats in there).
ME: I need latch taken off and for you to teach me how to use the seatbelt with this seat, I can't seem to get it solid.
TECH: You don't need the seatbelt-Latch is fine.
ME: No, the latch limit is 48 pounds in my van(Kia sedona 2007)
Tech: No, I have never heard of such a thing and I just took the class.
ME: Really, where?
Tech: Seriously, it makes no sense! There are no limits on the seatbelt.
ME: Check the manuals in my car and the seat(handed him both pointed out the page).
Tech: I never heard of such a thing, it makes no sense!
Tech: Also, using latch and seatbelt will make it more secure, trust me I see things in accidents.
ME: Well, I guess you don't know your stuff then
Tech: well, your son needs to be switched to booster mode on this seat at 5 1/2 he is too big for the harness, it only goes to 40 pounds
ME: No, it goes to 80-read the manual and boosters are way safter. Have you heard of Kyle miller or even seen crash videos?
Tech: Well, he should be in a booster at 3 years and 40 pounds.
ME: WOW! JUST WOW! Are you seriously a tech? Let me see your supervisor?
Tech: He is out for lunch!
ME: WHAT?
TECH: Come here tell me she is wrong(asking another tech)
Other tech: Nope, she is right on you don't use seatbelt and latch at the same time, but he should be in a booster!
ME: Well, I am leaving, you guys are making me so mad, you don't know a thing.
TECH: Fine, I will put it with a seatbelt.
ME: DRIVES AWAY AFTER THEY DO THAT>
OH and they never checked for expiration dates on any of my seats.
So, for an hour this STUPID IDIOT(Sorry) was installing seats with latch and seatbelt????? UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh
Who do I call and complain too? I also want to complain about the last seat check at my other firestation(2 towns are right next to each other-I am in one town, but my side of town uses the other towns firestations)!
I am irate! My friend also went to have her regent checked out(put on seatbelt) and they did it wrong! I had to fix it today!
