    Whooops!!

    Today I collected GS2 from his nursery at lunch time. This is a most rewarding task. He behaves as though have been to Australia for many months, his joy and delight is to be see to be believed

    It was warm in my car so I put him in without his jacket. I adjusted the straps of his car seat accordingly.
    Our journey home was a slow one as there are roadworks and temporary traffic lights. I handed GS a couple of little books and breadsticks to keep him amused. At one point he handed me back a book. It surprised me that he handed it to me instead of dropping it Then I realised that he shouldn't have been been able to hand me it! I looked around and he was sitting with the seat bet still fastened but off both shoulders
    We were crawling along, stopping and starting in a queue many miles long. I couldn't get out to do anything about it as a massive lorry was right behind us. Luckily GS made no attempt to stand up, move or do anything to get out. I don't think he could have as he was still strapped around the waist, but knew he was in danger is we had to pull up suddenly however. Eventually once we got through the roadworks we had a short drive on a 60mph road, then a slow short drive along a 30 mph road until I was able to pull over and put him right! The top he was wearing today, although long sleeved, was very thin. Even though I tightened the straps, I didn't do them tightly enough.
    I will double check next time, as something awful could have happened.

          Gem - it's so easily done! I once nearly drove off with GD1 not strapped in - she had climbed in on her own and sat on her booster seat, and I actually started the engine before I realised I hadn't done up her seat belt.

          Fortunately for both of us, no harm was done. x

              Oliver was a begger for getting his arms out , we were on our highway one day a very fast road when I turned around and only the strap fastened at his waist , never a bother when in his winter coat it was too bulky to wiggle around in but easy in a t-shirt . Its easily done Gem as Qwerty said .

                My eldest son was an escapologist of the first degree when he was in his car seat,it was one of the very first type a sort of egg shaped thingy you will all remember he could get out of the straps so OH devised a fastener on the side which I added a pair of reins to give me extra security,thankfully now we have such safe and secure seats for our little ones.
