I don’t understand how she didn’t know those straps were too loose? Surely a quick look at her own seatbelt would give the game away?!?
Considering she did so much research before baby arrived, including reading the parenting book upside down,why would you not look up car seat safety before a long journey? Does that mean he wasn’t strapped in properly for their holiday last week too?

I remember last time I noticed the handle on the seat wasn’t in the correct position and politely messaged her about it but she ignored it. Didn’t notice loose straps that time.
I reckon it must have been someone she knows/a friend who messaged her this time because she actually paid attention to the advice for a change.
What was the issue with the handle? Think I’ve missed something
So basically in the position you’d have the handle when carrying the seat? Mines in the newborn seat and when I put him in I just leave the handle ‘up’ as it were. Yes the straps are obvious surely
Cool thank you sounds like I’ve got it right then
don’t even have the excuse of being a first time mum!What I thought was a bit weird was how intent she was on trying to keep Alfie entertained the whole journey. Most babies just fall asleep in the car (I know not all, but give him a chance and it’s likely he would have nodded off). He’s so young I don’t feel like he needed all those toys around him and a screen, and her sat next to him.
Me neither. Rod for own back springs to mind. If she sets the bar there this young he will just expect to be entertained and think it’s normal as he gets older. The car is the time mine are off the damn screens!
I thought the same...mine used to nod off so quickly
It seems that aswell as not strapping her son in properly, she’s not able to follow the safety rules for dogs in cars either... SO unsafe!! Wouldn’t dare tell her as I’m sure she’s back to not taking advice well 
I think with this TV (phone) on in the car for Alf, she’s creating herself a whole new world of problems. My suggestion would be to hold off the distractions for as long as you can. But don’t you dare tell her my kids only get a screen in the car if I’m driving home and I need them to stay awake.
my kids only get a screen in the car if I’m driving home and I need them to stay awake.I noticed that too about the dog - loose on the front seat, 'look how cute he is sniffing out the window', all well and good until they have to slam on the brakes and he goes through the front windscreen. She is such a frigging idiot! Get that it's not your own car, so put him in the boot or get a car harness. She deserves everything she gets by behaving so irresponsibly!!!!It seems that aswell as not strapping her son in properly, she’s not able to follow the safety rules for dogs in cars either...

May have been mentioned, but does anyone remember the rant she went on about posting photos of your babies/children on the internet and what poses leave them vulnerable to pedophiles ???
She now post exactly the content she was advising against.
I used to like her but contradictory behaviour and the mass of boob content has put me right off.

yeah she posted “what not to do” and then followed on with a photo of him on the bath literally 24 hours later
...and continues to!
Bewildered as to why a 5 month old needs to be ‘distracted’ in a car
The tv from the off was bizarre, I let my 5 month old watch 10 minutes in the morning while I make breakfast so I’m not anti screen time but wouldn’t be something I put on straight away in car to entertain for what looked like hours

I think she’s afraid he might kick up a fuss etc but I’ve seen so many comments saying she’s causing future problems for herself by doing this, she has no clue really. She panders to him so much like yes obviously with a tiny baby you should but he can’t sleep at all away from her and still wakes hourly for a feed, and now he can’t sit in a car without her glued beside him with toys? Does she not ever wonder what parents did before all these new baby gadgets were invented? I honestly can’t believe she spent that long drive letting the child watch YouTube on her phone. At his age I’d imagine they don’t need to be 100% entertained and stimulated at all times, surely being in the car would have been enough, bit of lullaby music and he’s asleep?? Or am I way off? It’s just unheard of in my family or any friends kids etc and I can’t decide if she’s just doing far too much or we all didn’t do enough
I would say it’s a first time baby thing (to a point) as in worrying about their development and pandering to every whimper which with subsequent children doesn’t really happen as much because if anything you don’t have the time and youve seen they turn out ok! Also keeping up with the Instagramers/Jones’s because it’s seen as negative to not be buying you’re kid the next piece of crap plastic toy or to not to want to see them all night and want them to sleep in their own bed (or is that just me)I think she’s afraid he might kick up a fuss etc but I’ve seen so many comments saying she’s causing future problems for herself by doing this, she has no clue really.

I never got mine into being entertained in the car (or even sat in the back with them for that matter) 
so yeah maybe I didn’t do enough either - Status
