Do not feel bad - I forgot to strap my ds1 in his car seat once, because I was being distracted and worse than that I left him in the house in his car seat once and got to the end of the road and realised I was missing something!!
Everybody has done something like this at least once - believe me, you won't do it again.

We've done it too. Drove a couple of hours on a French motorway and realised the baby was strapped in but the seat wasn't. Cue big big argument.

Anyway, the point is that luckily he was fine, and so was your DS. Neither of us will do it again.
