there is a new family in our unit. They are living in a hotel off base with no vehicle. I swore NO ONE would go through what we went through so I have been helping them out. Driving them around etc....
Well the boys just turned 1 and they are about 35lbs so rf is out. But their carseats are the crappy Cosco Highback. The straps are all tiwsted ( I un-twisted them and they were twisted when they put the boys in). The harness is so loose they were not even on the shoulders and the chest clip was at their bellies. I told her my concern and made her fix it but they were all twisted and messed up in no time. So I dont feel safe allowing them in those carseats in my van.
So I was thinking of these options. I have 2 built in carseats. They are 34-36" tall so the seat will be big but it is safer then what they are in AND I have to put them in it as she doesnt know how to use the seat.
Or I have the Apex I can adjust for the smaller boy and put the bigger one in a built-in. I prefer both in the built-ins b/c then I know they will be in there correctly..
So WWYD? I refuse to not help. They have a tiny frideg that can hold a half-gallon milk and they have nothing else so I cant not help.
