A few days ago I was driving with my 8 month old DS and 10 year old DS and saw a sign for free carseat checks at a AAA office. So I pulled in and a nice older man came over. We went through the normal stuff of checking harness tightness, infant seat base tightness, whether seat was recalled, etc. (He said I was first one that had it right all day, this was at 2 pm after 4 hours of checks!! Scary!!) I have a towel rolled up to get the base of my evenflo embrace properly angled (2002 chevy trailblazer) and he said not to use that, it wasn't needed and proceeded to take it out and reinstall base. On the base the is a level indicator with red for bad and green for good and it was all the way red after he redid it and he said that was fine. Then he said only to rearface until about 15 months or so because my DS will be "tired of rearfacing" by then!!!! I plan on rearfacing as long as whatever convertible I get allows!!!
So my questions are, is it safe to use a rolled up towel to get a proper recline rearfacing?
My 10 year old is 80 lbs and 57 inches and fits the seat belt good, he is too big for the booster we used until he got to 57 inches. So he's good in a seat belt, right?
And just let me say I'm so happy Michigan FINALLY has a booster seat law!!!! Now if only people would start protecting their kids in the car!!
