Buy them new carseats or look up resources to get them cheap or free ones. Instead of going straight to getting them in legal trouble, try to find a way to help. Legalities should be last resort.
If you love the children- or even if your a kind human being- buy them new ones. Problem solved - no law enforcement required- no drama- just a good deed , my friend
Throw this whole post away🚮 and go help ya family out girl😒 If you that concerned about their safety then figure out how to fix it because asking facebook isnt it. Plus I bet you didnt see this post goin the way it is. All the energy you put into typing all that coulda been used to help the situation. Grief whats wrong with people🤦
Why would u want to cause a problem .maybe get the family together n get them good ones
How about you help with getting them the proper car seats and help gently educate. Why make it a tramatic thing for them? Maybe they don’t know what’s wrong with it.
Instead of trying to make a bad situation worse… maybe the time u took online, you could have looked for a program for free car seat giveaways,
This is ur family… why are u trying to start drama??
Get them new car seat
You don’t need to report for heaven sake !!!
Pretty low to do that to family. Maybe help buy new ones.
You must be drama filled sister the family don’t like ! If you wanna be a CUNt yea report it but if you actually cared about the safety of the children you’d do what you could and help them get a new car seat !
Wow, Id hate to have you as my SISTER…
Is there a reason you would want custody? I can’t imagine any other reason you would be wanting to report them and possibly ruin their lives if you didn’t. If you truly do care then maybe buy new car seats…
Ya be a hall monitor and try to get people in trouble when u have no idea what’s right nor wrong as it shows lol deffently the dumbest thing I heard yet
Wow. You sound like a real great sister… Maybe offer to help buy them new ones. Talk to the parents and let them know how unsafe it is and see about resources for free ones if they can’t afford new ones or you aren’t willi.g to buy them. Lots of places will help with car seats.
If you report your niece, your an asshole. Help her!!!
You should buy the kids new car seats,that would be the nice thing to do. Help your karma too.
Do you know if they could afford new ones? Try helping instead of getting them into more trouble. Do you have kids of your own? Maybe try helping them get news ones instead of reporting it.
How about buy them new car seats or try to find gently used ones. Why would you feel you need to report them?
I would buy her new carseats.
Why turn them in that’s horrible. Maybe they need help. If your so concerned maybe see if they need help buying a new one. Turning them in is a shifty thing to do!
Speak to them about your concerns?? That’s if you care… Sounds like you wanna cause trouble.
Just be a blessing and buy them new ones.
I’m a mom of 2 so I get that carseats are expensive but that’s no excuse to put children’s lives at risk.
If I was in your shoes I’d ream your sisters ass for her negligence and assertively tell her to get actual functioning carseats. If she doesn’t then yes you could report her to CPS for it since it’s child endangerment. She wouldn’t loose her kids, they would just force her to get safe carseats.
I see everyone saying you should buy it for her, but I don’t agree with that. She is the mother and needs to step up and act like it. If she can’t afford new ones then definitely help if your able to and ask other family to help as well.
Local heath department usually helps!
How about buying some and giving them to them.
Maybe they were being washed and weren’t dry yet.
Talk to them, tell them, definitely don’t just “turn them in” geez. Car seat safety is very important and can save a child’s life, but just reporting them is a shit move. Open your mouth and speak on it, to them.
Buy some or if you can’t afford it ask in mom groups local to you, if anyone has a spare vs reporting. Why would that be your first thought?
Maybe try buying them car seats instead of ruining someones family.
I would first ask why the padding is missing. If there’s no good reason then I would ask that it be replaced ASAP for safety. If it doesn’t get replaced then I would report to CPS
Your family and that’s wrong to turn them in over a car seat. Be nice and maybe help her buy them the carseats that are legal
Buy them new car seats rather than parent shaming.
Amen help them don’t hurt them
Wow, put your sister on blast?! Address your concerns with her, you just might’ve started a battle that will stay with y’all for some time. I’m just,
l get paid over $125 per hour working from home. l never thought I’d be able to do it but my buddy makes over $13214 a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The possibility with this is endless.

Mind your damn business! Or better yet, buy them new ones.
Wow, this is not being a very good aunt/sibling. If my nieces or nephews needed a car seat, I’d buy them one! I’d drive to my siblings house, offer to install them in the car or at least help. Before I left I’d be sure to tell my siblings, “hey, if you need anything else for you or the kids, let me know! I love you!” I wouldn’t want my siblings to lose their children if that was a safe place to live. I wouldn’t want my siblings or their kids going without things they needed. I guess not everyone was cut from the “compassionate and caring” cloth though.
I concur with most other people. Buy them new ones and gift them. You can get reasonably good ones used on marketplace.
Sometimes we need to help and lift eachother up. It takes a village, be a good village.
Your local police station could help
Can you raise some money or take collections etc to buy them new ones? They may be doing the best they can
Omg glad your not my sister…how about you try talking with your sister to find out why an then try helping her get them a car seat
Do you and your family not speak? Ask them why the car seats are that way. Perhaps they don’t know they are unsafe. Start a conversation. Make it a learning experience. Assist them in purchasing new/gently used seats.
Reporting them would be necessary if they took no action.
Instead of reporting your brother/sister why not lend a helping hand and help them get new ones?!
Are they going through hard times? Its absolutely illegal, but if they need help, help them? If they don’t care or are negligent parents then yes, report them.
Wow I’m glad I was an only child
Buy new carseats or educate them
Educate them and look around some thrift stores for better car seats. They usually have some
You sound awful. Help or butt out. Not a good person at all for this to be your first thoughts. Must be nice to be perfect and flawless
Have you seen the price of new car seats? Maybe this is all the have and have no idea that the pad is missing.
Why would you report this? HELP THEM
Talk to them and find out why the seats are like this and explain yourself concern. Get them new seats, Auntie.
What kind of person just goes straight to the most extreme of reporting their family when they could help them out. I’m so confused by this reaction of yours.
If this was my niece’s or nephew’s I’d be throwing those seats in the trash and buying new ones because clearly my sibling is having trouble financially and doing their best to keep them safe. I would never in a million years report my sibling even if we weren’t on speaking terms.
I mean as long as their living situation is good all reporting would is get them new ones any ways… BUT why not try to help instead of cause bs
Lovingly mention your concern and offer to purchase new as well as inviting your niece to learn why your concerns are valid and tell her you’re not challenging or judging her parenting.
As their Aunt, you might buy replacements! Tell them it’s their Birthday presents early!
So if they are your nieces, these are your sister or brothers children…… I would 100% think you should step in and help… but reporting them is not a good idea unless the parents are negligent and doing wrong by these children for other reasons than cost alone. Helping them have proper car seats is a wonderful idea but reporting & causing parents more stress and harm if it’s truly just a monetary issue is awful and very hurtful to someone already struggling. Can your dad help? I know times are tough but these babies are your family. Everyone should be willing to step up a little and help:pray:t3:
Instead if making a bad situation worse - maybe get them new seats or ask for donations from friends and family to do so.
Educate them and help them look for new ones
The fact that your first response and question is to report them says way more about you then I think you want strangers to know. Geez
First of all, can your sister afford others? Babies are expensive and maybe the parent’s are having a hard time. Have you talked to them or you rushed to Facebook to report?
Why is “reporting them” easier than just buying them new ones? I guess family means different things to other ppl.
Buy new carseats… maybe they can’t afford? And educate them on safety and the law. Family? You’re worried? Right?
They need to buy new seats. If unable, check around for any agency that will donate to the public!
Why not just buy the new ones
Here’s an idea - maybe you can be a “good” family member and purchase them new ones? Why is everyone so quick to try and “report” or get someone in trouble?
Are you after her kids or something? Why would this be the first good idea come to your mind? This is exactly what’s wrong with the world. Family doesn’t want to be family…maybe try finding a couple up to your standards and give them to her. people donate legal carseats daily
Why don’t you just buy them car seats instead of reporting family
They are your family. Help them out. You can go on market place here on fb and buy a used for for a reasonable price! Smh
Since you seem so concerned, how about you be a decent human being and aunt and get them news ones. Why take the chance of the babies being taken away and put in the system?!
Offer to replace them if you have the financial means to do so. If not, offer to replace one and they accrue the cost of the second.
I’m sure someone’s going to have something to say about my post but instead of reporting them maybe you could try to find them somewhere maybe used or get them a new one
l get paid over $125 per hour working from home. l never thought I’d be able to do it but my buddy makes over $15126 a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The possibility with this is endless.

Just buy her new ones ? Why report her smh
Walmart has them on sale right now. Also check yout local health department they usual have them
Reporting will just draw unwanted legal attention. Pops could no longer help with child care or transportation. A nearby thrift store is a good place to start!
Instead of rushing to “report” your family, maybe you should let your sibling know of your concern and offer help with new car seats.
How about don’t be a douchebag and buy her new ones if you are so worried
Stop being petty. Go buy them new seats. Or go to the “FREE” car seat clinics/giveaways held all the time all over the place. Human services gives them away and so do other organizations.
If you are concerned buy them new ones.
If you’re so worried, why not talk to your sibling and ask if they need help and just buy the car seats? Why would you automatically jump to reporting them? You’d be surprised how many people with children don’t actually know the proper way to use car seats.
Why report them? Just buy them new seats. That’s what I did with my sons older brother when I found out my ex was in an accident with the kid in the car and was still using the seat. Cause he and the kids mom couldn’t get him a new seat and the dad didn’t even know till I told him and dropped the seat off with him.
Or maybe talk to him first or maybe offer to buy working ones??
I originally thought the same thing you guys and now I kinda feel like you’re all ganging up on her. Chill out. And girl, get them new car seats.
Buy 2 new car seats for them. What if they dont have$$ to purchase them
Umm why dont u HELP them get proper seats instead ?
If your so concerned why not buy them new ones?
This is disgusting. If they are neglecting the children, yeah you report it. Do you know the circumstances? Maybe ask around see if you could help get appropriate car seats. I’m sure SOME WHERE will help! Where I’m at Wic office sells brand new car seats to momma’s in need for $10 (not saying they do that where you live), but I’m sure you could call around and find some options for them!
You’re sad as an aunty. You could buy new ones for them. You could have told her to contact the highway control for proper ones. But noooooo, you want to report her and possibly have her babies taken away. Shameful
Jeez what kind of petty bitch are you?
Instead of being a hateful cow maybe help them out and get different ones?
Check local selling pages to you or Facebook market place you can pick up good car seats for good prices. Maybe they can’t offers new car seats right now and are too embarrassed to ask for help. Id personally talk to the parents and offer help. They may need a little help towards the cost or even just some support. You never know unless you talk to them. I wouldn’t report them as that will turn them against you. Hope this helps x
Yes, do something about it! Either report em, or explain to them the proper car seat safety regulations, or, buy them new ones. Not everyone who has kids understand the proper safety mechanics of a car seat. But if you don’t, God forbid something happens to them…and you could have stopped serious injure or even death.
Wow all these dumb@ss comments. How about she’s not the fucki*g parents? She’s not the person responsible for these kids. She doesn’t have to spend $ on them . Good carseats are expensive and maybe she can’t afford to buy 2 for someone else’s kids. Do yall just run around buying carseats for other people’s kids?no? Then why tf you expect her to? She should absolutely talk to the parents first or her dad and see what the situation is but if these kids are in danger or just being neglected you absolutely report it!
Why report her and possibly ruin those babies lives forever. Thats just shameful. I get you are concerned but reach out and find other options b4 you involve cps dfs for any reason.
Help them, there are a lot of car seats in thrift stores and non profit that would help.
Super ridiculous comments I’m pretty sure this is the first time she’s seeing this and carseats are not expensive at all
It’s not her responsibility to get anyone anything especially if it’s already two kids not 1 the parents know what they’re doing.
“Go to a carseat clinic” haha why havent the parents done it yet. Very obvious the parents haven’t even put their own part to begin with fb marketplace always has 20$- 40$ max carseats and like everyone has mentioned they can go see if they qualify for one. Not only that they are still endangering their children everytime they are in a vehicle they are still not 100% safe
If the grandparents are seeing this as well they haven’t done anything about it neither so no wonder she’s asking that question
Just buy them some WTF… family suppose to look out for each other
Why report.be a good aunt a buy new car seats.
So you anonymously turned to fb asking if you should report them instead of either educating or helping. Over a car seat issue… not neglect or abuse.
Seems like you’re more concerned about them getting in trouble than their actual safety
Why would your first thought be to run and tell? Why wouldn’t you help them. Gift them with some new car seats if you’re so concerned. So many people are out here doing the best they can with the resources they have and you wanna go try and make it harder smh.
Maybe she took them apart to wash them and couldnt figure out how to put them back on. Maybe instead of immediately thinking turning her in you should find a way to help. Ask why they look like that first off
Maybe you could buy them new ones
