I did my usual stroll down the car seat aisle at Target to see what's new, and to offer assistance to folks who are shopping. Yesterday I chanced upon a grandmother looking to get a new seat for her grandson who was 4 years old and 38 lbs. She was looking at an Evenflo Chase. I showed her that he would only have 2 lbs left of harness use, and then she would have to switch it to booster mode. I told her about the safety benefits of keeping him harnessed to the limits of the seat, and then showed her a Graco Nautilus. That way she could keep him harnessed to 65 lbs, and then move on to a very good booster. She was incredibly receptive. Not only did she buy the Nautilus, but I met her out in the parking lot and taught her how to install and adjust the Nautilus herself!
It was a very satisfying win for CPS at Target. Yes it was...
