Anybody else struggling with their mil on car seat safety? Today will be the 3rd time she’s dropped off my baby with her not secured at all. I’ve tried talking to her about it but she just gets defensive and says it was “just an oversight”. When I bring it up to my husband he basically says I need to bring it up to her when she drops my child off and he’s gonna stay out of it. but it feels like I’m not gonna get anywhere with her about it. I told my husband today that if she’s going to continue watching our child that I’m just going to pick her up because I don’t trust her driving 30-45 minutes to me. Today when she dropped her off her straps were not tightened and the chest buckle was at the crotch buckle. Last time her chest piece wasn’t buckled AT ALL. I’m just tired of having the same fight with her/ my husband everytime it comes to his mother.

If it were me….. I’d show her how to property buckle her in and if the next time after that’s it’s still not right she just won’t be able to get in the car with her anymore

I agree! OP, Show her how it’s supposed to be, she honesty might not know the proper way. And tell her straight up that baby girl NEEDS to be buckled properly or she won’t be able to drive with her anymore. To me, that’s a MAJOR problem. If she were to get in an accident or someone hit her, baby girl isn’t safe and is could get seriously injured from not being buckled properly. If she still brushes it off and isn’t buckling her right, then definitely drive yourself to get her
