After a trip to the park the other day, my friend offered to take my 2 kids back to hers for a couple of hours while I ran some errands. I asked if she needed to borrow a car seat - she said no, she had an extra booster in her car (she has 2 kids). I assumed that meant her eldest (8) would go in the front without a car seat and she'd put mine in the back with car seats which is what happened. I don't like kids going in the front, particularly without a car seat but what she does with her children is not my business.
However, when she dropped my kids home, my eldest (8) was in the front without a car seat. I felt really uncomfortable about it but didn't say anything as it was done by then plus she'd done me a favour and I didn't want to be seen to be complaining or have an awkward conversation. And it would come across as a judgement of her, obviously. I just don't think it's safe and I don't even know if she'd turned the air bag off.
She's always offering to take my kids out etc which is really lovely of her but I really don't want her to if it means my kids possibly travelling in this way. Do I say something or do I just avoid any possibility of her driving my kids in the future?
