Good Evening Ladies!
OK so I need some advice on a situation that I have with my neighbor. On Thursday I got my daughters new carseat. We got her a boulevard. We were hanging outside with my neighbor and her son at the time UPS came. She said to me how she loved my carseat. She then continues to tell me that she was thinking about turning her 8 month old son forward facing!!! WHAT??? So we had a long talk about it. I told her how I plan to keep my daughter rear facing as long as possible and how much safer it really is. I said PLEASE don't put him forward facing it is ILLEGAL!! She then tells me well my sisters 8 month old weighs 17lbs and hes foward facing. I said thats VERY illegal too and hopefully he doesn't get hurt. My neighbor says oh well they got into a bad accident and he didn't even have a scratch. WELL thank god! I just don't get it. So finally I THOUGHT she had understood me. She begin to say I'm going to leave him rear facing because I would rather a broken leg over a broken neck. I'm not going to listen to all my friends and family telling me to move him forward. So I felt relieved. Well I came home today and see that they have moved her sons carseat forward facing. I'm so pissed. So not only is it illegal but she knows how dangerous it is?? What the hell is wrong with people??? I'm not sure there is anything I can do. I was also taking about going to the police station after having our new seat installed to have them check it. She says to me I KNOW my carseat is not in correctly. UMM...then get it fixed. I'm just looking to get some advice. I just can't seem to get over it. If we as parents don't protect or kids no one will. GRRR!!! I just feel sorry for the little boy who is so innocent. :thumbsdown:
Thanks for any advice you girls may have!!
