I don't necessarily think its that cut and dry. Speaking from personal experience, A CPST at a local boutique here in Little Rock talked me into buying a frontier for my then 21 lb 2 year old daughter when I came in shopping for a new convertible. I trusted him and didn't question it, not because I didn't love my child, but I trusted him to know what he was talking about. Now I know he was just trying to sell me the most expensive seat in the store. I imagine a lot of people just trust that the law knows what it's talking about, and until the laws are more clear it probably won't change.

Bahaha! I'm not sure dude at pickles and icecream is a tech anymore. His cert had lapsed 4 years ago. :whistle:



I do think people are capable of educating themselves. I met the pp I quoted and it was a refreshing find in the wild. ;)


A childhood friend emailed and she is taking a class at her hospital. I really think lukewarm techs in hospitals don't help. Parents need to be told at their most vulnerable point for absorption... When they've got a squishy noob.
