Alright, I've got someone at the daycare on the ball about carseat safety, and i told her that I'd try to find something better she could put out to parents, especially the ones who are going to boosters to soon, or worse, 2-5year olds in the front seats in adult seatbelts. (seen by her, me and my husband)
this is a serious issue in our town, way to many parents go to boosters between 3.5 and 4 years old, or younger. I have seen 2 kids in my son's group at daycare 2.5-3.5 y/o in no back boosters (which is when I brought the issue into the daycare)
I talked to the daycare administrator on Friday, and she said she'd look into it, talked to her again today and they can't do a seat check through the health unit, unless the parent goes to the health unit (they're more focused on health than safety), and the RCMP said to just report the vehicles as it happens. We've decided to put out information in parent's mailboxes at daycare, she said she'd copy it and put it out, I told her I'd try to get something to her.
So I'm not focussing on ERF, as that's going to fall on deaf ears(I know of 4 parents in town who ERF, despite my enthusiasim, and myself and my best friend are 2 of them), I need printable/copiable material, that will get these parent's attention. the pamphlets they hand out at the health unit in Alberta are already going out, but we want better, any suggestions, help, the kids in my town desperately need it.
