School Escort doesn't know how to use carseat

DD1 is 4. She is going to a SS 10 miles away.

On Monday the escort struggled with her straps, so had to take her coat off. Fair enough.

Yesterday, she strapped her in but didn't tighten the straps Shock Then, she put the adult seat belt over the arm of the childseat instead of under it Hmm I phoned the school, and they contacted Transport. Fine.

I looked on the Halfords site until I found her carseat, and had a look at it. So this morning, I barged my way onto the minibus to check her straps, and tightened them Blush. Then I pointed out to the poor escort that the BIG RED PLASTIC BITS were for the car seat belt to thread through, and that THE BIG ARROWS ON THE SEAT FABRIC were indicating the route for the belt to go.

It is quite sad and worrying, isn't it? You'd think she would have been given a few minutes to get to grips with the car seat.

They should get time, but probably don't.My dp never even managed to fit any of our kids seats - I always had to do it. With my ds I used to also barge onto minibus to sort out stuff if need be.
