What a horrible mother!

Before I knew about car seats Julianna was 10 months old ffing in an expired broken cosco high back harness booster.. I had the harness tied in a knot in the back.. I couldn't afford a new car seat when she out grew her infant seat and my friend gave me that so I figured it was better than nothing. augh.. sad sad. and scary to think what would have happened had we been in a crash.

I first started reading this thread and thought, "I swear she's posted this exact thing before ... :scratcheshead: "

Doesn't look bad to me, considering my DS 6 yrs came home from the hospital in a 3 point harness! YIKES!!!

LOL, yep, this one is a wee bit old.

And yeah, he was definitely a lot chubbier in his baby days!

I got to the picture of him in the Scenera and was like "I could've sworn he is almost 6!"

He's adorable! And I'd take away the lolipop before I did anything with the seat. lol. But he turned out ok and that's the important part!

Ahhh, come on, it's not THAT bad. The harness looks fairly snug and it appears to be below his shoulders.

I also thought it was going to be about the lollipop...I still dont like giving dd (4 yrs old) a lollipop if I cant monitor her with it...

I have to agree, for not knowing all that you know now that was okay car seat usage. Not 100% correct, but not bad either.

I am lucky I knew the basics when using car seats back then. Before I found this board I was in a terrible accident. Even though I wasn't a car seat geek back then, my basic knowledge kept my son safe.

Your son looks so cute and I love his hair. My son long hair as well. We do get it cut occasionally, but he just looks too cute with the hair.

He is, but he's still not much bigger than he was in the Scenera pic. LOL
