Just another post quickly tonight as I wanted to add this link in to a YouTube video, it is about a little girl who died because she was not in an appropriate car restraint for her age and size.
Belle's Video
When Jessie was 3 years old we changed her from her car seat to a booster because Hamish was being born soon and we needed the car seat. Jessie could have been Isabelle if we had been in a crash! Two years later I am a lot better educated about the dangers involved in inapropriate restraints and now have Jessie in a booster with a H-Harness and Hamish is in a Maxi-Rider II with 5-point harness where he will stay till he is too big for it, which will be when he is older than Jessie. It makes me cry to think of one child dying because of parents not knowing the best way to restrain there child in a car... I don't want there to have to be any more children like Belle...
So many parents use the excuse that a MRII is too expensive, I ask them though, what is more important $300 in your bank or your child's life? I know what matters most in the world to me!
Give your babies an extra hug tonight... and please, please remember this video!
