I get so tired of seeing carseat misuse on TV (and so does any one around me who has to listen to me...)
Just today there was the new Wendy's commercial with 3 people in the backseat swaying back and forth. Not one is buckled in. I emailed them:
I am APPALLED at your new commercial with three adults swaying back and forth in the back seat of a vehicle, totally unrestrained, no seat belts in sight. How dangerous! Don't you realize that more than 80% of people wear their seat belts now and the number is rising? This commercial may have had its place 15 years ago but get with the present! Look at the Sonic commercials. The actors are belted, even parked and eating their food! Guess I'll be going to Sonic more now!
Then my 5 yr old granddaughter and I watched "To Grandma's House We Go" with the Olsen twins (movie is probably 15 yrs old). First they showed the twins in a man's lap in the front seat of an RV. I went off about how dangerous that was. I almost said, "I bet their mommy would be mad if she saw that." But I didn't. Just as well, because later they showed the mommy doing the same thing!
