Hi there
I have a 4 year recently I brought a new car seat for my child,
I have had issues with court etc but anyway,
My child was to big for the straps that come over the shoulders and clips in between the legs
So I brought a booster with the back still on it,
Since then my child has not been use to this and keeps saying I'm not strapped in,
But the seat is secure and the seat belt gose around my child and the car seat,
My child has told the mother that the straps are not on
but my child is completely secure, Now the mother is saying that Im not alowed to take my child in my car or in a taxi and must use a bus everywhere,
I think this is a joke and the mother needs to get over herself she has a new bloke and a another child but always seems to be jealous and prevents me from doing things,
I brought a boat aparently that was not safe enough for our child to be on a boat,
she is clearly jealous and making things hard for me when its pathetic
what do you all make of this?!
As long as the car seat meets the legal requirements, she shouldn't have any concerns. Could you take a photo of the seat and send it to her with the specification of the car seat to reassure her?
If this continues you could try mediation to sort this out, other than that it would be an application to court to try and get some proper schedule in place, and clarification on being able to take your child in your car and your boat, as long as safety measures are in place....which I'm sure you do as a matter of course!
Hi There,
.
I agree with Mojo, if you can show your ex that this car seat is safe then, there shouldn't be an issue, you could even ask your ex to come to the car and strap your child in so that she can see that it is safe.
.
With your child (daughter) then you can tell her how grown up she has become and is now in the big seatbelt.

Huh, that's unfair. There are some great safe car seats, try giving another one a go and see what happens. Good luck
