Sigh. I got a response from SafeKids. 20 BUSINESS days. So that's still another couple of weeks, like you guys are saying, especially since July 4th is built into it.
I checked two friends seats this weekend (unofficially, I guess. LOL). The first had a Century seat, sure enough. LOL She had been using mighty tites, said they couldn't get them in otherwise. Well, her car had latch and she didn't know it, and the seat had latch, and that thing is in there SOLID. Her daughter isn't going anywhere. Then her son had an angle problem, and again wasn't in tight enough in his infant seat.
The second one, today, has a nearly 4 yo 37 pounder in a Graco combo (they're going to get a dedicated booster in three pounds, though I may try to talk them into the Apex), 2 yo 28 pounder in a FF Touriva tray, and infant in an Evenflo Discovery. Thank goodness I didn't need to do paperwork on hers, the infant seat was the only thing left as it was, other than it was installed at a better angle. LOL The 2 yo got turned BACK RFing (woo hoo!) and was in solid. They had a locking clip because sure enough their seatbelts don't lock at the retractor. They have cinching plates (I was told those were rarely seen and in two of the three cars I've done since class ended they've had cinching) so the locking clips came out. They were too far from the buckle anyway, but it's nice to see parents trying to make it better without using duct tape or glue. LOL The 4 yo got moved from the third row to the middle next to his now RFing sister, and his seat got put in nice and tight with the tether (they have LATCH, but I would have had to cut the thread over the hole and ya know, it wasn't worth it, I had solid installs with the belts). The infant in the third row had angle and handle issues (no toys, and they keep the handle down), so I got to use my first pool noodle. The mom rand out and got a thin one and that was all it took. We moved the middle row forward and now the handle could drop all the way down, rather than being just away from the head.
I had fun today.
Completely rearranging someone's car. LOL I was talking with someone else and her son is in a graco something, she wasn't sure, with a harness, her daughter was in a turbobooster. She wanted to keep her son in a harness as long as possible, and she said she had a Husky. Well darn, lady! You've got the best seat out there for longevity in a harness! She didn't realize it harnessed to 80 pounds, she thought it was a combo of sorts. So she's good to go on selection, I didn't check her installs (she didn't ask and I didn't push).
I just want to be officially certified!!!
