This dad came to our check last Saturday with his sweet little girl. He was taking all kinds of pictures, but I did not know why (thought maybe his wife wanted scrap book photos?). He did a really nice write up about our event.
That's me in the hat and the bald guy is a retired motorycle cop/CPSTech.

His seat was nearly expired (2002 DOM) and was a Canadian seat to boot. Hopefully he was impressed enough with our advice and went to purchase a new seat.

Anyway, its always nice to be appreciated. I don't think Remken made it into these photos, but she came out and scribed for the event to get ready for her certification class this fall.

Wow, that's awesome! He sounded like he listened to what you had to say, & I'm guessing that Audi has a new seat (or will soon). I doubt he would blow your info off & then blog about it.

You must feel great about it...& you should!

Yeah, he had the seat installed FF using the RF belt path. He wanted to discuss rear-facing with his wife first, so I told him to show her the You-Tube rear facing videos and to google extended rear-facing to be convinced. So, she left forward facing, but properly installed and tethered (safer than she came anyway).

Hopefully when they get their new seat, they will put her back rear-facing. I taught him how to install it both ways.

I was just going to ask if the seat was installed FF with the RF belt path. I was pretty sure it was! Hopefully he buys a new seat as well as turns her back RF! You should feel good though that at least he was willing to listen & that she left safer than she came in at least!
