Fish & Lisaohgee: Safety Crazy???
Crazy is riding around without your kid strapped into a car seat because she "hates, HATES it".
That is crazy.
5 minutes or 3 hours, I think you are out of your freaking mind!

Re: Fish & Lisaohgee: Safety Crazy???
I've done it for 2 minutes? lol
But really I have. Only because she was screaming her head off and my guess was that she was super uncomfortable and something was bothering her for some reason because as soon as I put her back she was fine.
I mean in this situation, pull over and adjust her:)
Yeah, it's so LOL you nutjob. You are not real.

this.
You don't get a pass, but this doesn't surprise me...And you sound proud of yourself too...blech, you make me sick.
Chances of it happning near your home???
I hate when people act like it's crazy to want to keep your child as safe as possible. It's a matter of life and death, not something silly!
Not to be all morbid, but I'm gonna go there....
At least she's there to hear.
You gotta stop doing it, Fish.
Seriously, this is going to sound awful, but wouldn't you rather hear her cry like that than never be able to hear her cry again? A child forward facing in a crash before they're ready might survive. A child out of their carseat will not.
Seriously??? You hate it? You sound selfish. You do know if you are "only going 5 minutes", she can cry, right? Chanes are she isn't going to die in those 5 minutes in the car seat.
Chances increase when you are holding her and she is quiet, but NOT in her seat.
I will! 50% of the blame also lies with DH. Blame him! Blame him!!
First of all LOL was only because I was being a smart ass to the 5 min or 3 hour remark.
2nd I'm not proud of myself.
3rd. I adjusted her it took two minutes and I got her back into the carseat... Just like if I took my seatbelt off for 2 minutes to do something and put it back on. I'm not saying carseats aren't important. And yes a child should be in one at all times.
How do you feel on plane? I know its different but there are plane crashes...Do you bring the carseat with you? because I sure don't. and she isn't strapped in. I am more deathly afraid of a plane crash then I am of a car but thats me. Oh well, I know this will just be flamed at.
I don't think it's crazy at all, and that's not what I meant. I was just saying I understood what Fish was saying, and I understood that that mother who was taking her child to the hospital may have had good reasoning to not have him/her in the seat.
I am not saying that you should not put your child in a car seat. Of course you should. and 99.9% of the time, he in his car seat. I've taken him out for very brief intervals to nurse or to comfort. It's not something that I think should be done consistently, and I realize that it was not the safest thing, but I did it.
You are not funny.
NOT EVEN CLOSE, jim. not even close.
plane accident death = 1 in 11 million
car accident death = 1 in 5000
k, we get it. moving on...
You still down't get it. Nurse in a parking lot, on the side of the road...why while the car is moving and he is out of the seat.
That is just DUMB!
if it's such a big emergency that a carseat cannot be used, an ambulance should be called.
I can't believe people think it's okay to take a child out of a seat, even for brief intervals. All it takes to crash is half a second.
Because its 1 in 11 million then I guess that makes it okay then. Thanks for clarifying
Seriously Fish, I thought you were better than this. I have no superiority complex.
Just because you did something stupid, announced it to the world, got called on it, then tried to not take responsibility for it, I have the superiority complex? Don't try to shove this off on me.
You made dumb choices.
Actually I do get it, which is why I said it is not the safest thing to do.
You realize you sound like you're 5 right?
Yes it sort of does. Do you travel by plane to the store, your work, etc?
Oh you get it? Really? Is that why you gave the bullschit "everyone needs to decide what is right for them" spiel and then proceeded to use NURSING as an example of "special circumstances"? Wowza.
LOL at "not the safest thing to do." How about "it's a ridiculously unsafe thing to do."
i think she can teleport herself, don't worry.
I obviously did not write my post correctly, because I don't think nursing was one of the special circumstances. I was stating the reasons I did it -- Fish did it because Isis was crying, so I was stating my reason. I see where the confusion could have come in.
I get it, you think I'm dumb and a terrible mother. That's fine.
I took responsibility for it, promised to not do it again, meant it, and then tried to be light-hearted after-the-fact. I feel like you are being unnecessarily condescending about the whole thing. It's over, I'm wrong. You can quit scolding me now. Sorry if I'm reading you wrong.
I think this is a good point about a crash. But let's remember crash landings. Having a rear facing carseat in the event of a crash landing will definitely be the difference in life and death for your child on a plane. I can look for a link, but there is a story of a crash landing. Do you know where the child is placed in a crash landing? On the floor, under your feet. There is a story of this happening, and the child got thrown around the plane. They had to evacuate the plane, with it completely on fire. Everyone got out--the baby was never found. I would never fly without a seat for this reason alone.
Still, I'd much rather see a child properly restrained every time they are in a car than worry about a child being in a lap on a plane. Because the risk of a car crash is very real. Sure, the risk of a plane crash is real, too, but just not as likely.
