[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get it.  Your DH knows (with evidence) that his mom isn't big on carseats but doesn't see the issue?  That's just odd.

FWIW, my mom, who is definitely feeling the affects of aging, is still more capable than your MIL sounds, but she does not feel comfortable driving DD around b/c of handling the carseat.  She's okay driving my older niece and nephew b/c they are in boosters and capable of getting in and out of the car on their own.  An 18 month old still needs help with that.  If she can't even bend down to the floor, how will she get your DS in and out of the car?[/quote]

Oh, I should add that bottom line is if you are legitimately uncomfortable, I wouldn't let her do this.  If something goes wrong, even a genuine accident which can happen to anyone, you don't want the uncertainty.  I felt this way about all safety-related baby gear.  Yes, most people are capable of putting it together, and most people including me and DH are also capable of forgetting to tighten something or whatever.  If anyone made a mistake, I wanted it to be one of us.  Maybe irrational, but that's what we did.  It's regret-management.[/quote]
