Over the weekend, I rode to a family event with SIL (DH''s sister) and MIL. I sat in the back with SIL''s 3 month old nephew. Sitting next to him, it seemed that when we went over bumps/curves, the seat moved quite a bit. I grabbed the handle and it wiggled back and forth a lot...probably like 4+ inches in each direction. I also noticed that he didn''t have any type of restraint over his shoulders. He did have a small nylon strap (like the kind you would see on a highchair) and maybe a strap between his legs, I couldn''t tell, he had a blanket over his lap. It just seemed like he was SO loose in there... Is this safe?
If it is unsafe... I have had a very rocky relationship w/ DH''s family... I am always occused of being a busy body etc. and am not really comfortable asking SIL what''s for dinner for the risk of being occused of being nosy by her... SIL is also very ''my way is the best way and I don''t want to hear what you think'' about normal things so I am sure she will/would be the same way with So I wasn''t really comfortable saying anything to her. I can''t really have DH say anything because he has never ridden with nephew in the car like that so she would know that I said something to DH and was "trying to make her look bad" What would you do? Hopefully I am just being overly paranoid, and it really is fine for nephew to ride around like that but as a non-parent, I feel like all the other infants I have seen have some sort of harness-y thing?
