I filled up my boss's Land Rover with gas and took that opportunity to examine the one and only seat they have. 3 kids, oldest was 8 in December and I don't remember the ages of the boys (probably 5 and7). They have a Britax Star Riser booster that just looks decrepit. I found the DOM and it is August 2002!!! I'm sure only the littlest ever rides in the booster. Let's just say I don't think any of these kids would have the maturity level to sit still in a moving car (let alone sit still for half a nanosecond!). Obviously money is not an issue when they just bought a second house at Pebble Beach for 10+ million and it's a tear-down! They just don't get it. I mentioned that their seat was almost expired to one of the other girls I work with (trying to get PG) and she just laughed and said I was smoking crack. Yes, and enjoying every minute of it, thank you very much!
Another lady in the office has a 5 1/2 yr old DD who has been in a booster pretty much since she turned 4. She is so proud of herself because it's in the center of the backseat which is so much safer for her. She won't fly on an airplane because she considers it an unnecessary risk for a single parent. Driving is fine because she has to drive, but she doesn't have to fly. Let's all go bananas for safety and then not do the one thing that will keep kids the safest in the car--a properly fitting car seat!!!!
