I didn't check and DD's car seat wasn't anchored in

[diannescruffy]

I felt sick in the stomach when I realized, I'd drived with DD to do some shopping yesterday then this morning when taking the kids to school I realized her car seat wasn't anchored in and the belt around the seat wasn't clicked in either. I'd taken the seat out a few days ago to clean the car and DH had put her seat back in for me but didn't hook up the anchor. She was buckeled into her seat but the seat was just sitting there not buckled up. Thank goodness nothing happened, just pays to check and double check.

Regards,
Dianne

hun.. good thing you noticed now... it's easy to forget sometimes when someone else has put it in and you just assume it's all done...

No one is perfect Dianne. You've noticed now, and it would be an easy mistake to make so don't beat yourself up about it.

I've done that before too

I drove up the freeway to my parents the other day, picked up my mum then we went to the shops where my mum found that DD only had one strap plugged in The second buckle mustn't have clicked in properly and she'd managed to wriggle her arm out while I was driving. Scared the hell out of me but hey, no harm done and I ALWAYS double check it now.

You're not alone hon
