goes to me and bad father of the year to DH.
We just got back from Harrisburg, which is a 3 to 3.5 hour trip from here, mostly on the PA Turnpike. Before we left, we ate at Fuddruckers and I had DD out of her infant car seat for a few minutes holding her.
So we pull into the garage and I go back to get the kids and see Diana is COMPLETELY unhooked from her carseat and in fact is practically sliding out of the seat itself at this point. I had never buckled her back in at Fuddruckers because I figured I would be getting her out again but she fell asleep. When I went to the bathroom before we left, DH just picked both babies up in their carseats and carried them out to the car and didn't check/notice that she wasn't buckled in AT ALL.
Plus DS's straps were completely loose. I figure that's because I put him in there before we left for Fuddruckers while we were packing just for a place for him to sleep, figuring that I would tighten him up when we left. Once again, DH picked him up and carried him to the car without checking his straps. It never occurred to me to check them either, so I'm not just blaming him.
OM MY GOD!
