A mom at my DS's preschool is not buckling her DD safely. The baby is in an infant car seat, wearing a huge bulky snowsuit, and apparently with the snowsuit the straps are so tight that she is only using the chest clip and not buckling the bottom.
I sort of know the mom because my DS was in her DD's class last year, they are in different classes this year, but we pass their classroom on the way to ours and I see the baby insecurely strapped in the stroller on a stroller frame (and asleep, so I doubt that she just unbuckled for the trip into school). English is not her first language.
Earlier in the winter we were in the elevator together, she also had the straps super loose, and I said, "Oh, snow suits are really just so bulky that they aren't great for using in car seats. I put my little guy just in a fleece jacket and cover him with a blanket and he seems to be pretty toasty. It might be a pain to get the straps tight, but it really is safest." She agreed that the snow suit was a pain.
Well now a few months later the straps were tight, but not buckled. The baby is probably 7 months old. I don't know quite what to do. I don't see her everyday and the times I saw the baby unbuckled, the stroller (and baby) were in the hall and she was just inside the classroom (door was open). It would have been awkward for me to pull her aside to talk with her. Also, I just don't know what to say at this point. Suggestions? Something that I could print out and just stick in her cubby anonymously? Thanks.
