Maybe that’s the best she could do right now. At least she had something. I would call around and see if you can find her a donated one. Or look on FB Market place. Sounds like she could just use some help.Did you ask about them? Maybe she was cleaning the covers.

Really? You’re thinking about reporting because of carseats! How about have a conversation with the parents, buy the kids new car seats or help parents pay for new ones…I don’t understand people who think they should go straight to authorities before speaking to the adults first… especially if they’re family

How about just having a polite conversation and explaining your feelings and the dangers ect, if they’re the main car seats then be compassionate stick your hand in your pocket or go find a good will somewhere and help everyone out instead from being a judgemental dick
The best thing you can do is try and help them get safe car seats for their children. They are probably unable to afford new ones or ignorant of the laws in their state.
Seriously?! Maybe try talking to the grandparents/ parents or, better yet, just buying them new car seats!

,Family should help take care of family. Quit judging and start helping. Safe car seats do not have to the most expensive. Quit looking down your nose and go buy them. Evidently they must be short of cash. Some agencies donate seats. Try telling your Dad. You sound like a trouble maker.

Just sad you’d want to report them!! Why not do something nice for your niece’s and Buy Them New Ones??
Maybe your sister or brother is going through a rough time & can’t afford new ones? Maybe like others have posted they could be in the wash?
How about asking why & do you need help getting new ones?
Can’t understand wanting to report your family member instead of helping them??

The amount of people who believe the children needs being neglected is okay is fucking ridiculous. If you won’t provide a safe way to transport what else are you not providing for your children that they need? It isn’t their aunts job to go out and purchase new seats because their parents apparently aren’t worried enough to I understand struggling, but no, I don’t understand childrens needs being neglected. I completely understand why she’s questioning whether or not to report their seats, she’s at least taking notice how unsafe their seats are. But nah, as long as there aren’t bruises then it’s perfectly fine to neglect your kids needs? Or do we only ignore it when it’s family members we talking about? Y’all gotta be the same kinda people allowing anyone & everyone care for your kids too.
In my opinion offer to help, see why the hell no one else in the family seems to be concerned about these babies safety. The police station or fire station sometimes also have car seats they’ll give to those who are in need, reach out? But nah, calling authorities isn’t necessary unless there is other forms of child neglect going on.
None of that is safe in any way, shape or form. You are absolutely valid in being concerned. I wouldn’t jump to reporting. I would first try talking and educating about car seat safety. There are tons of resources out there for educational purposes. And then offer to help get new seats. You don’t even have to offer money if you don’t have it. There are also lots of resources out there to get free seats. If you aren’t able to get any for free, buy buy baby takes Afterpay and has car seats. Afterpay doesn’t check your credit so virtually everyone is approved. They split the total into four equal payments with no interest or any of that. Buy buy baby also offers 20% off when you sign up your email. The only time I would report anyone is if you have given the information, actively tried to help and they choose to be ignorant continuously putting the kids in danger. She may not know any better yet. There’s a difference with not knowing and choosing to ignore. Hope this helps.
Each family member/friend contribute $10 & buy the little ones some nice car seats that will grow with them.

Seats dont expire but they could of been recalled. Thats prob not safe. Theres agencies who will help get you proper car seats if you cant afford them. But the kids bring 1 & 2 they should be in a proper carseat for there age and weight with the padding. No child wants to sit on a hard ass seat.
Before you report talk to them see what happened the children could of spilled something on the fabric or something were they had to take it off to wash and couldnt get it back on. Anything could of happened… First try to fix the problem the situation and then if you cant and they dont give you any really good reason then maybe report them but try to help first
Why report them? Could you start a conversation with the parents about your concerns instead?

Idk that’s kind of messed up. If those are your nieces then maybe help by buying or talking to family about pitching in to buy some. You could even call your insurance to see if they offer you any, or check out offer up if money is tight. The last thing I’d do to family is report them. Not even if I’m not cool with them. You never really know what someone’s going through, family or not. If another story is they’re legitimately harming them
Maybe help and buy them car seats.

Personally, I’d buy them new seats to use. They may not have the money or they may not know what is supposed to be safe. Either way, I’d want to make sure the kids are safe.
Not sure but police stations used to give car seats out to under privileged families.

Is it possible the covers were just being washed? People do that sometimes ya know.
If they’re missing covers, most companies, you can order new ones. Which is something not many people know
Car seats aren’t entirely cheap either. So maybe you could just politely say “hey I noticed this. It’s not safe. Do you need help getting new ones?” And maybe help them out. One that has the sticker, depending on brand, some companies will send a free replacement seat in the event of damage from general use. For sure Diono and Cybex do this.
If after a conversation they still think it’s okay and just fine that their kids are being dangerously transported, absolutely report them.

What’s your REAL problem with these parents? Why not just encourage them to get safer ones or find out why the kids have u safe ones? Or better yet…talk to your parents and the rest of your family about just fixing the problem. If you care so much about the kids fix it instead of talking shit about them. If you plan on just turning your head after you report them why bother. Your spiteful ness helps no one in this situation.

First off I’m sorry that everyone’s jumped on you, first I would speak to the parents and find out if they’re deffo the car seats they use, if they are I would show or send them a video explaining how safe it is about rear facing and safe car seats!!
Car seats can be expensive! If you can go out and buy them both safe car seats… I wouldn’t report them as nothing would probably get done as you can actually put a child in a car without a car seat (taxi, bus) but car seat safety is so important!! So we’ll done for spotting and noticing ! Xxx

So you’re questioning if you should “report” your brother or sister, instead of questioning how best to go about helping them buy new carseats? If it truly were the kids you were worried about, you wouldn’t be trying to get their parent(s) in trouble. Sounds to me like your priority is getting them in trouble.

Unfortunately it isn’t your business… car seats are so expensive all you can do is notice but be aware if you do say anything you most likely will be told to mind your business.
Girl you are fishing for a case. Idc what problems you grown adults have between each other, but trying to drag innocent children into it is disgusting. Stop trying to justify a petty decision made by you and you alone by consulting a bunch of randos like us on Facebook, only to use it as justification for the foster home you’d land those kids in unnecessarily, down the line, because you’d rather make a REPORT than attempt any possible and plausible, hell fathomable, fix outside of a legal system over something thats probably financial. Don’t feel proud. Something like this shouldn’t come into question. Theres lines that need be and be not crossed. This is a clear cut case of common sense and basic human decency. OP definitely didn’t pass this vibe check.

All these people talking crap to you. I’m a single ass mom with 2 babies I paid thousands for in fertility bills. I was still paying for the second baby until after his birth. I have no second parent. My Mom and family didn’t ever supply me with anything for either child, and I’m now on disability due to work injuries and sudden, unexplained, worsening hearing loss. If you work out how much I get month and divide it by working hours, I basically get paid $6 an hour. I also live in a very expensive city where the cost of living is super high. I managed to provide both my children with brand new proper car seats. I also managed to get a grow with me seat for my first when he was too big for the infant seat, and an entirely different 5 point harness forward facing and brand new seat when his old one didn’t fit in the van I purchased. Now he’s in a booster seat with no back that I also provided.
The new baby is in a car seat that came with a stroller which I purchased brand new. And I’m now searching for a grow with me seat and he’s 5 months.
There is NEVER an excuse to not provide your children the proper car seat that is safe to use. If you can’t afford one you’d better be walking your ass with them
Or have them in a wagon and just you walk. It is never acceptable to put your children’s lives in danger because it’s less money for you. Nor is it YOUR responsibility to fork over hundreds of dollars to give them each a car seat.
I’d 100% call the non emergency police line and leave an anonymous tip about it with the make model and license plate of any vehicle that’s risking those children.
She could purchase used if need be, she could contact her nearest church for assistance if she needed some, access pregnancy centers etc. There never an excuse and don’t ever feel bad for doing what’s safe or right for your family because people are so disgusting they will come online and insult you for not parenting someone else’s kids. She knew having kids would come with supplying them
Basic needs such as a car seat.
Maybe the covers are being washed ? Quick to judge especially when it’s your own father in question. I can’t believe you would come on Facebook to put him down and ask strangers for approval to report him
Maybe talk to your father about it and tell him why it’s not safe or ask of the covers are being washed

As an aunt myself, my first thought would be either talking to your family around why the seats are like this (as others have said they may just be washing covers etc). Otherwise going out and getting new seats for the kids, even ones on the cheaper side would be more comfy/safe for the kids!! Rather than reporting them!! Unless there is issues with your family you haven’t mentioned?!

If you haven’t tried talking to that family member prior to calling than you’re making a huge mistake. If you have talked to them and they are flat out unwilling to make their child safe then by all means make the call. But if you haven’t tried to help prior to potentially hurting, then you are just compounding the problem.
