from being nervous of course...
A friend from church called me at lunch today. She asked me if I had a carseat she could use (this friend is single and 20). She said they had some friends visiting from Germany and they needed a carseat for their 1 year old girl. I do have an extra right now, so I said she could use it. Of course Germany + 1 year old means forward facing for sure! When they got here I asked how big the girl was, mom said 9 kg. I was going to put her forward facing, just cause the parents probably don't know any english, and it would be hard to tell them why I was putting her rear facing. But I couldn't find a tether hook in the back of the van, so I asked my friend to ask them if it was alright if I put her rear-facing, and they said whatever! So I put the EFTA in rear-facing in a captains chair for the little girl (who must have been just barely 1). I got it in nice and tight, and then I put the little girl in, to adjust the straps properly. Mom and dad were very happy Mom asked how to loosen and tighten the straps, so I showed her that. My friend asked me if I was a safety officer or something... I told I would like to be
Of course afterwards my friend told me that they had driven all the way from Grand Forks (a 2 hour drive) and crossed the border into Canada, all with that little girl not in a carseat I'm gonna tell my friend that she only needs to bring the seat back AFTER they drop them off at the airport again.
