Seriously, I constantly get people coming in to BRU trying to buy this monstrosity [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Seat-Belt-Adjuster/dp/B0000488W5"]Amazon.com: Safety 1st Seat Belt Adjuster: Baby[/ame] because they bought that stupid cheap booster at Walmart and *REFUSE* to *CONSIDER* that if the belt is rubbing on your kid's neck that bad, you need to cut your loses and buy a new seat, the one you have ISN'T WORKING :thumbsdown:
I got a family today that put their kid in the middle with a lapbelt only because the belt was rubbing his neck so bad. At least we got to have a long chat about how sadly pathetic the state of customer education is in regards to seat safety, seatbelt syndrome, and proper belt fit. But the idea of buying a new seat, instead of expensive gadgets to make a wrong seat work, was just totally out of the realm of possibility for them.
What to do with people who have this seat and no adjuster? I'm temped to see if the Sunshine Kids Sure Fit works, but what else might do it? A Graco one?
PS, Cosco used to have adjusters. I never used mine, sent it to a friend, I never needed one (because I only put larger kids in boosters, perhaps? lol), so I assumed no one else does. Oh how wrong I was. Sigh.
