Am visiting my parents abroad with DS (3.5).
I do not drive and neither does DM. We have a car-seat in DF's car.
A good family friend suggested the other day that DS and her grandson (2.5) meet up to play. I said yeah sure, good idea.
She spoke with my mum this am (whilst I was still snoozing) and offered to drive her DGS, DM and DS to a play-area about 8 miles from here.
I said to DM that it's fine but they need to transfer the car-seat from DF's car to her friend's.
DM said it would be selfish as there is no car-seat for the other kid and was reluctant to do so. I had not realised that family friend does not use car-seat for her DGS. I said in this case, they would be better off going to the local play-area on foot.
DM said I was overreacting and that I should make an exception and let DS go without a car-seat. I was adamant, so in the end they agreed to walk to local one.
