Thank goodness she said something and thank goodness her husband responded instead of just ignoring her.

Amazing the baby continued to sleep I imagine it would have been loud,

A family friend is a retired Police Officer. He attended tragic accident on a country road a few years ago. On arriving he and the other officer discovered the driver and passenger in the front seat were both deceased. He was about to walk away from the vehicle when he spotted a baby seat in the back. She told us he thought the baby was deceased too but decided to check for a pulse. The baby was breathing and fast asleep. The could smell petrol so they very carefully lifted the baby out of the car still in his babyseat, they didn’t want to get him out of his seat until the ambulance arrived in case he was injured. They then radioed their Base for an ambulance to be called for the baby to be rushed to hospital. The baby woke up just as he was being transferred into the Ambulance. Besides the normal examination and tests the hospital immediately did some xrays to check for broken bones etc. Fortunately the baby didn’t sustain any injuries at all. He was kept in hospital for observation then taken home by his grandparents. The information about the baby was given when the Police did a follow up. The Police made the details of the accident known to promote the correct use of babyseats. No names were used in the report and the people who were warned privately weren’t given names either. They were however told the brand name of the babyseat.

Lucky you were able to see what needed to be done and your husband did as requested. I think this is the best form of nagging

Saying what you feel is not in this case nagging, as you say as a result of your child being strapped properly in car..He lept through the accident brilliant and other young mums take note Hope all is well soon

Great outcome – I’m sure you are right about your nagging saving his life.

Yay for nagging mums/wife/women. Don’t you know we’re always right !!!

Luckily that the man posted the picture and the wife saw immediately what was wrong with the straps!! It could have ended up so differently!

That’s lucky – I feel as though we should maybe adjust ours now too – it’s hard in the winter when they wear different thickness coats.

Very lucky! I always feel like the straps are too tight on my little bub, but I would dare loosen them for this very reason!

Very glad there were no serious injuries.

Thank goodness Mum & Dad had the sense to look after bub’s welfare and fix the seating, otherwise he could have been injured.

A warning to us all, to make sure the seat belts/harness are on correctly, even for the shortest of trips.

I can so understand that she’s so thankful that her husband took the extra one minute that was necessary to put their boy in his car seat safely.

Well done. Even for a quick trip, I always make sure I fit bub correctly.

You just can’t take any chances with car safety. Glad he tightened the straps.

I’m glad he listened to her and changed the strap.

Well she is a wise lady and glad hubby listened and acted immediately
