ran into a fellow mom at our schools open house and she has a baby that will be 1 years old in 1 month. at her last visit which was about 1.5 months ago her ped told her she could ff her daughter. because she was 20 lbs. of course i showed her our carseat rfed with my almost 2 year old 30lbs quite comfy in it. she was so upset she thought she was doing the right thing. 3rd girl and she thought it was always 20lbs. this has got to stop. i know peds are pretty oblivious about cs safety. well most are, they are busy with other aspects of medicine however "really?!" its funny too cuz they bought the britax advocate thinking it was the safest thing on the market so theyhad to have it. i told her of course she could have a 400 dollar carseat and if its used improperly or installed incorrectly its not safe. i wonder how many other parents out there are thinking the same thing. it was my line of thinking that it was 20lbs AND 1 year back when my son who is now 11 was born.
i told her to come on here and ask as many questions as she wanted. also gave her some good links. shes also going to be getting her child a booster after seeing how the belt fit my son without it and she has a similiar van. i told her to do the 5 step test. she said there was no need she knew the belt went acrossed her belly and neck. though she thought she was safe because she made her sit in a booster til she was 8.
its going to be a long year.
