ok so in another forum I go to they are having a very big descussion about carseat and when to front face them and then when to move them into a booster seat
Ive decided after watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azgBhZfcqaQ - THIS Bailey will be in a 5 point harness seat for as long as possible! Trish |

that is heart breaking  i agree with the statement about that the investment is worth it for your child. too often money comes in the way for things in my life but i reckon if it will help give extra protection its soooooooo worth it.

Thats soo sad, goes to show that you should never skimp when it comes to your childs or anybodies life and the protection of it. What a horrible loss for their Family but what an amazingly huge effort they have gone to to help educate people on the importance of this. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

That song does it for me every time, Maya knows all the words and she is standing here with me...
She is in an Evenflo Apollo convertible booster that has a removable 5 point harness and can then be used with a seatbelt. The 5 point harness is supposed to come off at 18kg but she is 18.5kg and still fits it so I have left it on and will until she doesn't fit it anymore. Her booster seat in my Mum and Dad's car has a tether bolted harness as well. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I couldn't even watch the whole thing I had tears running down my face and DH making fun of me . We have had to use the booster seat for Andrew once when he had an accident in his carseat (of the wees type). So not taking him out of the carseat until I really have to now. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I just saw the first 7 seconds, I can't watch things like that it's just sickening. I read the little blurb beside the video, sounds like a freak accident that got out of control. Poor little guy. ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

| I only watched the first 10 seconds as Telecom "big" broadband sux and has made out internt slower! BUT, we have always thought Jake needed to stay in a five-point harness, more for his ability to open doors, and generally fiddle with things he isn't meant to, but that solidifies my resolve! |

yeah the family got hit in there at at a crossing and as he was only in a booster seat with a seatbelt, the seatbelt failed and unlocked... as the car rolled he was flown out of the van and died on impact! Makes you think twice about car seats etc Trish |

Wow what an amazing thing for them to do. Made me cry like a baby! Scary stuff.
We got a 5 point booster from Baby factory- it is supposed to go up to 6 years and was only about $120. It bolts into the car at 3 seperate points- top and each bottom side. Its really good. ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

SCary stuff. Will definitely remember that when Han outgrows her carseat.
OT - we are with TelstraClear and their new broadband plans are great! You pay for the speed you want (4 levels, 4 prices) and then for every 1GB you use it is $2.95, but if you use it all up, it just automatically tops you up with another so it never goes slow!  ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

It did just occur to me that the blame for the seatbelt malfunctioning should lie with the manufacturer of the car not the carseat? ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| emma I thought that too, but then like it says in that movie you dont realise there is something wrong with it untill something really bad happens.. then you wish you had done something extra to prevent it.. in this case it was if she had her boy in a 5 point harness carseat he would still be here |

Is Britax the only one in the usa that make that 5 point harness system? I found that bit a little strange - like they were paid to make an advert on u tube?
Otherwise it was sad enough for me to see without the music (on a silent computer this arvo!!)...I hate seeing kids not in seats etc...and around here i have seen toomany lately and im sorry but three cars were asian families with bubs on laps of grandparent types int he back (i can see in really well from my truck!)...i now wonder if it would do any good at all to ring the police??? |
