Please poster who doesn't buckle your kid, please do it from here on out. Think of your baby! For God's sake.

@kiranata - the issue isn't where you buy your shoes - or, really, about front- vs. rear-facing car seats. You're post was light and jokey. Like, "I totes can't be bothered to take simple steps to protect my kid from one of the leading causes of PREVENTABLE child death! LOLZ!" Not okay. I hope you remember this thread each time you put that child in the car and are shamed into buckling him in every damn time.
But loving all the car seat recommendations.
Any chance all these ladies might be the same person (or couple if people)? When we get a newbie can we start them off with a questionnaire? Thoughts on car seats? Frosting? Cheese curds?
I seriously can't get over not buckling a kid in...I remember being 4 years old and knowing that my brother and I needed to be buckled. One crazy day with my parents, one parent had asked the other to buckle my brother in and they had a miscommunication or something and we ended up driving for .5 seconds, long enough to move from park to drive until me, the 4 year old, told mom and dad that my brother wasn't buckled in (he was about 1). I still to this day can't understand people who don't buckle kids in, don't buckle themselves in. My DH doesn't wear a seatbelt and I yell at him everyday (he's one of those, 'I want to be able to get out of the car if something happens' people). When I'm in the car, I ask him to use his seatbelt and once LO is born, if you are in a vehicle with us, you buckle up. A projectile human could kill another human, not to mention a kid. A projectile kid? Life over.
Sorry for the mild rant, I just hate when people don't wear their seatbelt...not to mention crazies who don't buckle their kid in and do it not out of forgetfulness or the stress of parenting as an accident, but to do it willingly. Crazy mofo's.
I have FIVE in 5 point harnesses still.... I had to buy thinner seats (we have the Harmony Defenders) because I drive a minivan that is not as wide as some of the other ones are (fail on my part). Yep, it took a certified tech and I an hour and a half to put the 3 seats into the 3rd row.
No, I am not psycho mom with my 7 year old in a 5 point. He is... 34lbs? maybe 33lbs. #4 is the same weight. #3 is 55lbs though. Due to either size or age, it was determined to be safer to keep them all in a 5 point for safety. So I don't feel bad when someone is complaining about what a pain it is to put their 1-3 kids into a 5 point harness.... try putting 5 in. And no one can undo the crotch clip. *sighs*. Come December, I will have 6 in some form of car seats.
*edited to correct my spelling.

Exactly half of what I was thinking. Read a horrible article on hot car deaths today, attempted to tell DH about the article and ended up sobbing. It only takes one accident/too hot day/uncomfortable sleep position and that is it.
The other half of my thinking is that at the very LEAST I would be concerned about child protective services. Someone sees this happening or your kid tells someone about it, your kid could get taken away, for the short term at least while they investigate. Better than them dying but they're still not with you.
