[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are debating when to tackle the drive from VA to NJ for Thanksgiving.  When my son was very young, it didn't rally matter since he slept during any car ride.  Now that he is 22 months he isn't the biggest fan of the car.  We often do try to time certain trips with his nap but that won't work for Thanksgiving (but will for the ride home).  Based on the fact that he is wiggly and[b] can even get out of his car seat at time[/b] and the traffic around this holiday, when would you leave?  Would you leave late Tuesday night (he goes to bed at 8) with hopes there is no traffic and he will sleep and then successfully go back to sleep (we have never done this) OR leave very early (6 am) on Wednesday morning with hopes he goes back to sleep for an hour or two (won't happen!) and just suck it up and deal with the horrible car ride?[/quote]

This is a problem and shouldn't be happening.[/quote]

OP here.  Oh I know!  I sit in the back with him because of this.  He can just undo the latches himself.  [/quote]

He can undo the Lower Anchors and Tether (the system to install the seat in the car) or he can undo the harness straps which keep him contained?

Either/both are huge problems.  You are not using the seat correctly if this is happening.  Where do you live?  Check the Safe Kids website to see if there is a tech near you.  You are facing a potential lethal problem.

If the harness is tight enough, no one child should be able to get out of a seat himself.  There are seats that are designed for little houdinis, but you have to rectify this problem.  [/quote]
