I received an email from an acquaintance asking if we still had our convertible Wizard seat for DS. She wanted to buy it if we did (we don't) as her ds has outgrown his seat. I forget what it is, but it's an Evenflo that only goes to 40 pounds. He just turned 3. Anyway long story short I told her (briefly!) about our Nautilus and how harnessing is safer. She wrote back and said she isn't worried about it because they have a brand new car with side airbags and all these safety features, and she doesn't get why people are so hung up on which carseat they use (I guess her pediatrician's office gave her a lecture), because if you don't drive a safe car you're screwed anyway. So she's putting him in a booster. They're cheaper. :thumbsdown:
While I see the point that it would be nice if we could all have brand new cars with the latest safety features, buying one isn't in most people's budget, but a good carseat, by comparison, is. Am I wrong here? I also confess to now feeling slightly guilty that we don't have side airbags
