[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an MB, I would replace the carseat.  It isn't worth fighting over $300.

That said, I can see the husband's perspective.  As between the employer and the nanny, the nanny is at fault here because the carseat was stolen from her custody.  If you checked a bag at the airport and it got stolen from the luggage cart on the tarmac, no one would say "Oh, it's not the airline's fault; it's the fault of whomever stole the bag."  No, you would consider the airline responsible because it had custody of the bag, despite the fact that the airline only took custody to benefit you.  In other words, being at fault for the loss and being responsible for the loss are not exactly the same thing.

If nannies drive their charges in their own cars, they should get language in their contracts stating that they are not responsible for childrens' items, including carseats, that are damaged or stolen while in her car.  [/quote]

Bullshit. I have had my car broken into twice and had done everything in my power to prevent it. My car was locked, nothing inside to steal, and parked in front of my house in a safe area with street lamps directly above. The police said that drug addicts would drive around, drop someone off in a nice area to break into as many cars then the getaway driver would drive back to pick them up. I had no control over the situation even with a car alarm. The only way you could blame me is if you insinuated that my income level played a part because I couldn't afford to live in a place with a garage. Getting robbed is not the victim's fault. It's like saying because a girl wore a short skirt, she was asking to get raped or that you walking home is the reason you got mugged. We can do everything in our power to prevent bad things from happening but that doesn't always mean it won't.

If you want to be ridiculous and blame someone then blame the boss for not providing a car for the nanny. She is at fault for leaving valuable items in the procession of someone else because they can't afford to offer a vehicle for work use.

But in the end, it's no ones fault. Shit happens, suck it up and pay.[/quote]
