I took my car to be MOT'd today. It's not ancient (R reg), so I was hoping it would be ok. Got a phone call to say that it had failed on one point - a faulty seatbelt catch, and to my horror it turned out to be the belt holding my ds's car seat in . The casing has cracked, which they think is just because it permanently has the seat in, pulled at high tension. I know that you are supposed to check carseats every time they are used, and I do periodically, but most of the time I have to admit to just plonking ds in, tightening his straps, and off I go, without actually checking the belt.
I feel like the worst mother in the world, and my blood ran cold when they told me.
So, when was the last time you checked the seatbelt? You probably all do it every time, but just in case you are as slack as me.....have a look next time
