It's not that hard to do

I need to go off on a rant. I am the mom that looks and judges when I see the chest harness not in the correct spot or the straps way too loose. It literally goes right through me! It is not that difficult to strap your child into the car seat the correct way.
My sister has three kids, her youngest is 2.5 years old, she has his straps way too loose and the chest piece is down by his belly button. I said something before, but she is the type that doesn't like to be told how to parent...which I'm pretty sure most of us are that way. This issue though, needs to be addressed.
I saw a lady today with a newborn, I could have fit my fist through the gap because she had it too loose.
DRIVES ME CRAZY!!! For the safety of your baby, PUT THE CHEST HARNESS LEVEL WITH THE ARMPITS!! You should not be able to pinch any of the fabric strap either, if you can, it's too loose.
Anyone else livid when they see this?

Re: It's not that hard to do
I am appalled how often I see children who should be in a carseat just sitting in the car with nothing. The other thing I see is INFANT carriers turned around. WTAF is wrong with people?? Either that kid is too big for that seat and should have moved to a convertible or is way too small to even consider FF.
OMG! I don't watch those shows, but I would think that the producers would put a little pop-up bubble on the screen that says something about the correct way to install a carseat, etc.
I've actually been flammed IRL by DH's coworker for having the straps too tight (in her opinion).

Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016! Thank you snow storm Jonas!
EDD 10/15/16
At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid. Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth. If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP. My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!
