To not strap my baby into her buggy properly?

My baby is 11 months and hates straps over her shoulders strapping her in; she goes absolutely mad. I’ve been avoiding this by just doing the straps round her waist so that she has some security but it means she leans far forwards (usually to eat the safety bar) and it feels precarious.

Wondering how bad it is not to have her ‘properly’ strapped in.

Can you imagine if it had been a dad who had 'made that mistake'. I bet she got way more sympathy than a man would have got.
Either way, safety always comes first. I can ignore a tantrum, I can't ignore a cracked skull!

As previously said, I'm not disagreeing that it was absolutely awful. But, I also don't think it's a black and white situation. Maybe go find the thread, she had just been holding her unsettled baby, then forgot to strap them in. It was a massive error in judgement that she will probably never forgive herself for. I also think dad's are unfairly judged on MN, but not by me.

But, back to this thread....still think that the OP needs to strap their child in, regardless of a tantrum, as the outcome could be the same, regardless of the reason why.
