Many people I know if they know me for very long will hear me say something about car seat safety...I have posted one video below but there are a bunch on UTUBE...
I was in a serious car wreck in November of last year along with my 3 kids...no one was injured, but ALL of my children were properly restrained and their car seats properly installed...
I can't tell you how many times I see photos or videos of kids sitting in their car seats with their upper buckle down to their belly button or see a tiny child forward facing or see a car in motion and the car seat is rocking back and forth... SCARY... In our car wreck we rolled! Had my children not been properly restrained I shudder to think what could have happened...I am sure one or more of them would have flew out of their seats and hit a window or worse been ejected!
PLEASE for the love of your child(ren) watch a couple videos and just make ABSOLUTELY sure that EVERY time ANYONE puts your child in a car that they are in the proper car seat and properly restrained...
I don't care WHO makes fun of me or what they say about me being "anal" ....our children our precious ....let's protect them and it really takes no time at all to make sure they are safe!
Well put Karissa!
ReplyDeleteSo many people even get their car seats from garage sales/goodwill/etc and if you read anywhere they say it is a bad idea. Spend the extra bucks and make sure your kids are safe. That is one of my biggest pet peeves as well!
