I find myself ...You ask a great question, Vanessa. I find myself in your shoes all the time. Mostly about carseat safety, but often about other things, too. <br /><br />I wonder how I'd feel if another mom gave me unsolicited advice, albeit kind and compassionate (as I'd hope to come across). Would I feel differently if I knew her? If I was friends with her? Would it change our relationship? I don't really know, to tell the truth. <br /><br />What I do know is that if we can prevent injury, shouldn't we? If all it takes is a short conversation/demonstration about strapping a kid in correctly, isn't that our responsibility as fellow human beings? If only we were more concerned with each other's well-being... In the US, at least, it seems that most people just have blinders on - we go about our days trying to have as little interaction with strangers as possible. But why not stop and help each out when we see someone in need? I don't know... I wish I knew. I'm trying to be different in this respect.Molly D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980515926340769054.post-61453363313974628492010-09-30T19:50:35.420-04:002010-09-30T19:50:35.420-04:00Have you figured out any way to approach those Mam...Have you figured out any way to approach those Mamas?Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14768473078536830905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980515926340769054.post-77164791893566077432010-09-30T16:37:36.802-04:002010-09-30T16:37:36.802-04:00I feel the same...

Especially when I see every Sunday at church a lot of newborns and babies being kept in car seats - which is something I did too before I knew about the dangers and of a better way (babywearing). I wish that someone had told me, though.Mandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045743426779114178noreply@blogger.com
