Hi, I know children can be nightmares in cares and young children get their arms out the straps etc. But recently I have seen other parents post photos and videos on social media of their DC not correctly strapped in. I’m not a busy body but I have terrible anxiety around car safety after friends and relatives have been in horrific accidents but I will spare those details now.
Recently I have a Mum post a video of her young son in a car seat. The five point harness was too loose, he had his arms leaning forwards but she was filming his dancing. The car was moving. The person videoing was a passenger so why couldn’t she put him back into his seat properly or tell the driver to make a stop. It looked like a busy main road. I have seen other posts where children aren’t correctly in 5 point harnesses. Amongst photos of older children not strapped in properly and the same woman who posted the video of her son dancing posted a photo of her two children asleep in the back of the car with no seatbelts on whatsoever - her youngest being about 2 included.
Also people who have their children in incorrect seats. I have seen children as young as 2 in booster cushions, or no seat whatsoever. I have seen young babies in forward facing car seats!
These aren’t close friends, but people I know of and I’m Facebook friends with. Do you think I should make a comment? Having a crash doesn’t bear thinking about when children aren’t strapped in properly 😪😪
