Ran calls today with our buddy Jeff who was up from North Carolina. One call was to check up a couple of kids after a minor fender bender. Girl about 5 boy about 2 with dad. Jeff and I are both certified car seat techs, so we noticed the kids car seats were all wrong. Not suprising, there is something like an 85% misuse rate of child car seats. Anyhow, we set about fixing, and SHOWING daddy dearest how to properly secure his kids... and the dude is on his cell phone. I thought Jeff's head was going to explode..but he kept his cool, and I just told the guy to get over to one of our clinics so he could learn the proper use of the seats in a better enviroment than the side of a busy road. The dad replied to me that he would have the kids mother do it. I gritted my teeth and said " They're YOUR KIDS sir..you do it!" Then my head exploded.
