    I don't think that either of those things are a big deal. At all. Just my opinion.

    You're right it may not be a big deal, but it could also be a sign of neglect. He's wearing the same clothes over and over, and I KNOW they're not washing them. They put him a front facing car seat that is too big for him, the straps dont tighten to his body....signs. There are also other signs that make me questions whether or not he is being treated as a baby should. His parents come off as selfish to me and I don't know how they are with him at home. I was actually suspecting neglect at the time that I wrote this, that is basically why I asked. I'm not a snot who thinks kids shouldnt wear the same things over and over, it's the way they come off.

    Anyways, not a big deal now. I doubt anyone will even read this bc i wrote it in may lol but Reggio, you're right. And I ended up talking to them about it. That seat was ULTRA unsafe and he shouldnt have been in it!

    LMAO ~ damn fell victim to a spammer bumping an old thread ~ did not notice this was from May and likely long resolved issue now ... cia la vie glad to hear that you spoke up and told them not to have him in the carseat ... I really am a anal cow about them I actually had to refuse a dad leaving with his child once because he showed up and he was 'last' that day so I had walked out to the car talking to home and while we were talking and he was putting his child in the car I noticed that the seat had no tether on it and she was 'forward facing' in it now and too big to 'rear face' based on the seat instructions ... he had to leave her here and the mom had to come get her with her car seat cause I could not in good conscious allow them off my property with the seat the way it was.

    Had another client just this year who had moved both her children to 'highback boosters' cause they were 40 pounds 40 inches (barely) but she wanted them in the easier seat ~ however the one day at pick up I was helping her in cause they were last and noticed the neither of the kids seat belts 'locked' in place which is a requirement for a high back ~ the shoulder belt has to be able to be pulled tight and LOCK so the child cannot move or turn in the seat otherwise they can loosen the belt and fly out of it ... now that mom I let 'leave' cause she lives around the block but I told her to go and get a metal locking clip from Canadian Tire ~ cost like $5 max to lock the belts in place once they are in easy safe fix ~ she shows up the next day with a brand new car with belts that lock cause apparently she went home and told her spouse her car was not safe for the kids and neglected to share the $5 fix option

    However seat belts and car seats only WORK if they are installed and used properly as per the manufacturers instructions ~ used improperly they can cause injury

    Most adults do not properly wear their belts either sadly!
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
