I was talking to my friend, Mandy, on the phone last week about what carseat she should get (has the Triumph and hates it!) for her 12 month old to keep him rear-facing as long as possible and she mentioned her friend with a newborn. I'm turning Mandy into a carseat nut because she notice that her friend's carseat base was extremely loose, the harness straps were very loose and twisted, and the chest clip was way low. She was concerned and decided to finally say something. She helped her friend get the base installed tight, fixed the twisted straps, and showed her how tight they needed to be, where the chest clip goes, and recommended she go see a tech. THE NEXT DAY her friend was rear-ended on the side where the baby was. Baby is fine!! She had an MRI and cat-scan, etc to make sure and everything is great. The doctor commented how surprised he was that there was no injury because he normally sees quite a few injuries on infants because the seat moves so much.
YAY for speaking up and saving lives!!!
