Alright I need an outside opinion on this. My brother, his wife and my 2.5 yr old niece have always lived with my parents. They have a graco convertible car seat which stays in my brothers car so when she goes anywhere with my parents, my parents pull out this kid infant car seat from over 10 years ago. My brother and sister in law have posted pics with my niece improperly restrained and it makes me cringe. I’ve mentioned it to my brother. I’ve also explained to my mom that the car seat they’re choosing to use is more of a hazard than help. The other day I offered to buy another car seat since I’m planning on visiting and was unsure if I’d be flying and said when I’m not there, it could be used for my niece. My dad insisted he pay for it but told me to order it. Cool! Problem solved! The car seat got there today and my sister in law texts me asking for the name of the seat I ordered to “see if it works for her”. I’m enraged. Where was this concern when my niece had loose straps? Or her chest clip was at her belly button? Or when for the last 2.5 years it wasn’t an issue that she was using a 10 yr old, expired car seat?! I’m really hoping she doesn’t get an attitude with my parents over it. I’m just pissed because if it’s so important that the seat live up to your standards, you should’ve made sure she was in a safe seat to begin with.

I wish I could but her and my brother are already having problems so I don’t want to make it worse for him however that’s exactly why I feel like it’s a power trip for her. I bet if her family had bought it, she wouldn’t even bat an eye.

@tristan-makes-5, @sherrynygirl, it’s also just a backup car seat. It isn’t her main car seat. Her main car seat is a great convertible car seat. Also if I was picking it out with the intent to use it for my own son, there’s no way in hell that it wouldn’t be safe. I picked it because it’s light meaning it’s easy for my parents to move around. I’m just so annoyed her her reaction. It wasn’t like “that was nice of you. I’d like to look it up” just “Can u send me the info of the car seat u ordered I need to make sure it works for me”. That’s the literal text. I copied it directly.

That’s so messed up. Maybe she feels embarrassed about the situation and only know how to be rude of your nice doing. I am sorry she acted like that. I am glad maybe now she will properly use the car seat. Or if she has a problem just tell her not to use and your son can I guarantee you. She will use it.

I just don’t want her to be a bitch about it to my parents
