[quote=Anonymous]We have a "kid car" where the carseats stay installed. Nanny drives her car to work, but drives the minivan at work. The alternative is to buy seats for your nanny's car. What you can't do is require that they never be removed; she may need her backseat from time to time. So you also have to trust her to install them correctly. It is a big leap of faith to let your kids go anywhere with someone else, particularly in the car, statistically the most dangerous thing we do regularly. But you have to do it. It is part of learning to be a mother to acknowledge your anxiety, accept the real risks the world represents, and let your kids go out in it with loving, trustworthy, competent caregivers anyway. And it is far better to do it now than to keep waiting for some magical day in the future when you feel "ready." I promise that after they come home safe the first time, it will be so much easier after that.[/quote]
