Do you ever see someone wearing a baby un-safely and feel too scared to say something? You know, that feeling that it will piss somebody off, you'll look like a self-righteous meddling jerk, and it won't do any good anyway? I have once or twice. And then I felt terrible.
Well today I actually did speak up and they weren't even mad! Maybe because she wasn't actually wearing her baby. It was at a g-sale today. They were selling one of those recalled Infantino slings with with thick padding.
I apologized to the lady and said I didn't want to be nosy, but did she know that was the famous recalled sling? She was taken aback: "really??" I said, I'm sure she was totally careful when she used it, but selling at a g-sale it could go to somebody who would use it carelessly... (yeah, stretching the truth I know).
She was totally cool and I actually saw her put the sling into their trash can! Wow, I was suprised.
