[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it standard practice at daycare for toddlers 2-3 year old to be strapped to a toddler chair with a seatbelt?  The daycare I toured do this for circle time, meal time, and nap time or anytime they need to contain the child.  They do this with children who do not stay seated.  They said it teaches younger toddlers to stay seated.

These are the type of chairs they use

In MD or DC it's a huge licensing violation, kids can only be restrained for safety.  So, you can buckle them into a high chair, or into the stroller when you go for a walk.  But otherwise restraining isn't allowed.

Even if a parent is OK with it, you have to wonder what else staff members who are willing to overlook this, are willing to overlook.  [/quote]
