WIBU to insist that my parents bring a booster seat for my neice?

I feel that I was not.

My parents and my neice are coming to visit for 10 days over the Easterbreak. They are flying, we live on the continent and they are in the UK. I phoned them to remind them of little things they would need, like swimming stuff for DN, her pencil grip, her camera and her booster seat. They told me they were not planning to bring one. DN is 7.8 and around 3'9". I told them that 1. We were not going to risk being on the wrong side of the law, and 2. I was not willing to see DN get horrifically injurued in case there is an accident because she had no booster seat.

I can't believe they were willing to risk it and would just have turned up at the airport with nothing. My family think I'm being overly concerned, and that it's an awkward item to bring.

I told them I would buy on myself here but they agreed to bring their one with.

I don't have older children so I don't know how vital they are, but I really feel that IWNBU.

ll31 - She's excited about it. She's only just got the hang of writing and she's extremely proud of it and every time I speak to her she tells me how she wants to show me her writing and that I will definitely think nan has written it and not her. Grin

So I told her I would get her a notebook for her to fill in a few sentences every day and that if she managed to keep it up, we would take a trip to the ice cream parlour on the last day. And that we could print out some photos from her camera for her to stick in as well, along with tickets etc.

It would not occur to her to bring the pencil grip or the camera, she just wouldn't remember, so I reminded my mum to pack them.
