why put your kids in danger??? PIOG

i dont understand why people put their babies/children's lives in danger when it comes to car seat usage... the law states 1 and 20 to FF, why do it before then??? seriously, there is no reason for it... 

and also, if someone tries to give you advice, why are people so stubborn, and rude, if someone is trying to help you out, or give you advice, why do people have to jump down thier throats, they are just trying to help. seriously, if you dont care to hear it, dont respond or just say ok thanks. why do people always have to come up with some smart remark when it comes to their child's safety???


KEEP YOUR KIDS IN A REAR-FACING SEAT TILL AT LEAST ONE YEARS OLD AND 20 POUNDS... JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE A YEAR OLD DOES NOT MEAN ITS SAFE TO FF UNTIL THEY ARE 20 POUNDS ALSO. WHATEVER YOU DO AFTER THAT IS UP TO YOU...

if you want to endanger your child's life by not keeping them properly secured is up to you. but dont get upset when someone says something to you. 

JUST BECAUSE THE CAR SEAT YOU BOUGHT SAYS " BOOSTER FOR CHILDREN 30-100 POUNDS" DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE SAFE TO DO SO... if this is the case, then the way my 6 month old is growing, he will be 30 pounds by 18 months, does this mean i can take the harness off and use it as a booster??? ABSOLUTLY NOT!!!!! Here are the Laws listed by state:

for me it depends on what its about. personally if i want your opinion ill ask, if i want your advice ill ask, but if i dont then shut the hell up and mind your own business. (not you op just people in general)  some people also take it as though your telling them what to do with there child or how to be a parent. some people just dont like it. honestly if some random person walked up to me and tried to correct me or tell me what i should or shouldnt be doing with MY  child they surley would get cussed the hell out. im the parent not them and im gonna do what i feel  is best for my child  in my opinion.ttc#2

I follow the law. As far as the advice, if I don't ask than keep it to yourself. If you give unsolicited advice, than expect a smart ass comment.

It drives me NUTS when somebody says I'm bashing just for stating facts and telling them to make their own decision.  I'm just trying to make sure they are informed because it's not common knowledge it seems.
