Horrible seat belt use!

My DH's cousin made a comment on one of her friend's pictures on facebook so I was able to see the picture. Here it is:

About 6 people commented on it and they were all talking about how cute the picture was and how precious the boys are. I wanted to comment (but CAN'T because I'm not their "friend") that if they wanted to keep their precious boys they should make them wear their seatbelts properly. And I can't tell if they're triplets (I was able to view more of the album), twins and 1 more close in age or just 3 really close in age but at least 2 of them look like they should still be in a booster!

wow!! what an idiot! i've seen pics of infants in carseats that they are NOT tightened at all that i've really wanted to say thing about- dh just thinks i'm crazy obsessed

And I don't even think I'm crazy or obsessive about it but this type of thing drives me INSANE! I haven't done extended rear-facing or even necessarily harnessing. Cameron was out and into a regular belt (in a booster!) at 3yrs, 3 months. Sam is still in a harness but he's only about 34lbs and not too tall yet. He CAN fit in a booster but understands that if he still fits in his carseat, he should stay in it. I only got Megan the Britax because I don't feel comfortable moving her into a belt at 3yrs old because she's going to be as big if not bigger than Cameron was at that age. I only moved Cameron because I didn't have another option! I couldn't afford a Britax and truthfully, I don't think thier 65lb harness existed yet! And Cameron is still in the high back booster because he still fits in it! I know he is big enough to go completely without (and have let him when my mom was taking him to her house and didn't have Sam's seat so Sam used the belt positioning booster and Cameron used just the belt) but I don't think just because he can that he SHOULD! He is much more comfortable with the booster holding the belt in the correct spots!

Ugh what a disturbing pic!! People just don't get it.........they don't care.......
It kills me to see my toddler godson's in a carseat incorrectly........it kills me to see my cousins 3 year old without any kind of carseat at all just wears a seat belt alone no booster no nada..........they KNOW I am a carseat freak and to them carseats is the least important thing.......................

While they are adorable they look like they need to be in boosters!!! In our truck we even have the tie downs for them and use them!! My SIL has the tie downs and won't use them! She says it's too much of a pita to unhook them and rehook them when she is moving them from car to van?????

Deborah.........like I said some people don't care.
