Hope this is in the right section..
We were in Baby Love (Tamarac/Ft. Lauderdale, FL) yesterday and the salespeople (whom I thought were very up-to-date in the past, though they know a ton more than Babies R Us) were very blasé about the safety/weights in regard to car seat usage! I heard them tell a mom with an 8 mo. that FF was fine! Then they tried to semi-dissuade me from RF my infant till 2! I thought they were trained! I thought..gah! Then I heard another mom ask the inevitable "..when can I put my child in a booster?" question. They told her-- get this-- they told her it was okay at his age (4!). I couldn't believe my ears! How can they allow people to sell car seats without educating the parent!
Okay, granted I went in there armed with weeks of research, but there is NO excuse for a salesperson (not just this store..) to not educate the parent a least a teeny-tiny bit about current safety-standards!
