I sold one of my Marathons on craigslist and the almost two year old came in a seat that was almost expired, straps way too loose, and installed with a mighty-tite.
I am usually very reserved when it comes to giving unsolicited advice but I just couldn't stand the thought of one of my old seats being used improperly! LOL So I walked the dad through installing it, showed them how to get the baby in properly, and explained why the mighty-tite was a bad idea. They were very receptive!
I didn't get the nerve to suggest ERF - maybe with the next seat I sell. She was tiny and definitely could still RF but decided not to push my luck since she was almost two (closer to 1 year old and I definitely would have).
I feel so happy that the little girl is safer now than she was before they came here. Can't wait to take the technician training in August!
