I was in the parking lot of a local store today and saw horrible uses of carseats on either side of me.
On my left, there was a car (Mazda Protege?) with a SungRide base in the back. The base was "installed" (if you can call it that) behind the driver's seat. When I first saw it, it looked like it was leaning over quite a bit, so I looked in the back window to get a better view. The reason it was leaning so much is that it was "installed" ON TOP of a pile of clothes!! There was at least three inches of clothes beneath the base!! YIKES! THe owners of the car were standing right behind it and I tried to talk to them about it, but apparently we didn't speak the same language, so I couldn't get my point across. I tried by motioning and using body language, but they didn't understand.
On my right, there was another car (Acura TL) with a SnugRide base in the back. This car, however, had a totally different kind of problem. Sitting next to the base was a plastic drop cloth that had about two dozen bricks on it. LOOSE BRICKS. Can you imagine what would happen if those people got in an accident? Loose bricks could be EXTRAORDINARILY dangerous projectiles in a car!!
I really don't understand what is wrong with people!!
