I don't know how I get so "lucky" to witness so many horrible uses of carseats, but somehow I do.
Today, I was sitting in a parked car waiting for someone to come out of a store. As I was sitting there, I was people watching and watching people drive by. At one point, a Nissan Armada slowly drove by with a child in the backseat in an overhead-shield type seat (I couldn't tell what kind. It looked like it MIGHT have been an Evenflo Tribute OHS, but I couldn't tell for sure) that was FF.
There were two things that appeared to be wrong, but one was MUCH MUCH MUCH worse than the other. First, the child in the seat looked pretty young. He/she was probably too young to be FF, but that isn't the worst part.
The worst part was ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. The shield was UP on the seat. Yes, that is right! It was UP, which means that the baby sitting in that carseat must not have been restrained at all. They were driving through the parking lot with a child in a carseat with what appeared to be no restraint. OMG!!
I wish I had been able to get the person's license plate # so that I could call the police. While the police may not have dones anything since it was a private parking lot, as soon as that person drove onto public road, the police could nail her.
Ugh!
