My biggest pet peeve is when people don't strap their kid into the carseat correctly and you can't tell them it's unsafe without them getting pissy. Or you tell them and they choose to ignore you...
There was a girl I had seen on fb that had her son in his booster seat with his football shoulder pads on.. wasn't hooked in at all. what?? I just don't get it, whether your child throws a fit or not.. YOU'RE the parent, put the child in the seat the right way!!
I saw this here recently. Someone had their 9 month old baby forward facing because "she can". People can be so hard headed. I don't know how you can have so much pride you compromise your child's safety.
I have a friend that I REFUSE to strap in her kids because the straps are all loose, twisted, and she puts her kids in with overly poofy clothes. It drives me nuts. I've corrected her and even fixed her carseats and they were back to how they were next time I saw her...
Yes. Or I'll just send pictures of the correct way and send a number of a local fire department that can show them. If they still get pissy then send a video of what could happen if they are in incorrectly and get in an accident. After that there isn't much to do. 🤷♀️ At least this way they can't say "that's your choice" or "that's your opinion"
The WORST excuse is "well I was never in a carseat and I lived" or "my teenager never got hurt so I'm doing it my way" like no. That's not how it works. You got lucky.
This just makes them a shitty parent. Point blank.
Safety isn't a parenting choice or a difference in parenting. If you refuse to pull your head out of your ass then 🤷🏽♀️ I said what I said.
