I just have to share this.

a lot of women feel attacked when we, as a carseat advocates, reach out and try to show them they are doing something wrong. we don't do it to say "I'm better than you and you suck" we do it because we wish someone did it for us when we started out.

we do it because of this right here, when we try and help you, and you ignore us and continue to do things that put your child's life at risk we ask mothers have a heart attack every time you get in your car. we fear for your child's life, possibly more than you do but only because we know the facts and have seen the gory details of what could happen, while you are driving with the misplaced confidence that your child is safe when they're not.

we, as mothers who have tried to help, don't ever want to feel like this mother did. like WE failed your child when we could not change your mind about doing what's best for your babies. we don't want to feel the heart break that someone we care about could lose their child because of something that could have been prevented, when we could have shared that knowledge with you.

when YOUR child is fighting for their life, because of YOUR decisions, WE are heart broken and hurting too because we feel like WE failed YOUR child.

don't write us off, we are not attacking you, you are not a bad mother, we are just trying to help you since you may not know better yet.
