So, I just got an email from a friend asking if I have a seat with a 35lb rfing limit because they are going on a road trip, 19 hours driving each way.
She says she wants to rf her 3.5 year old because it is safer and she will sleep better. Yea! She is finally listening to me about ERFing. Started telling her about the benefits before our DDs reached their 1st bdays but she still turned her right around. Anyway, that is really here nor there at this point.
Last I knew her DD was 35lbs. So, I am going to tell her I would not feel comfortable to put her in a 35lb limit seat. Even if she might be down to 34 at this time, still wouldn't do it.
Now, here is my dilema. Should I lend her my MyRide? 2 weeks ago, my only question would have been if her DD fits, because she is taller than mine. But, since I am in the process of sending it back, it kind of seems unethical to lend it out. Either towards her, because if I am not confident enough in the seat to be keeping it, why is it ok for her child. But I do feel perfectly safe with DD in it now, I am just worried about how that adjuster strap is going to hold up over time and would rather have it take care of sooner than later. What about ethical towards Graco? Should I be lending out the seat that I need to send back to them? It will take a bit for the label to get to me, so I would not have been sending it back any sooner than if I lend it out and was planning on using it for DD until I do get the label because I am waiting for the new harness for the Frontier before reinstalling it. So, they are not going to get it back any later if I do lend it to her.
She does have a scenera, but says her DD hates that seat and says it is not comfortable. I have to agree with her, I don't think I would want to sit in it for 19 hours each way. Also, back to the fact that I wouldn't be comfortable with her in a 35lb rfing limit seat anyway... Oh yeah, she is in a GN now, so not the best for sleeping.
So, if you made it this far, thanks so much...opinions?
