Id start by reaching out to the sibling the children belong to. Do they know their seats are unsafe? Can they afford new ones? Can you help them with new ones? Or dad? Or check your local buy nothing groups and ask for seats in there?
Im not sure why your first reaction is to report rather than communicate but I hope you are able to get the family educated and maybe new seats too
Just go buy new ones, cheaper then a funeral. And you’ll feel good about yourself for helping keep them safe. You don’t even have to say anything just put drop them off.
Are you just looking to make someone mad? Why not ask your siblings about it rather than trying to get them in trouble? Or cause family drama? Either way leave the kids out of it. You’re trying to make it bigger than it is. Either ask their parents, help them find new ones or hush. There’s no need to report them and cause problems.
Why is everyone jumping OP’s a** for their first thought being to report their sister? Maybe their sister is a sh*t mom. You don’t know the whole situation.
Just buy them new seats…
Why not help get the kids into safe seats instead of trying to report them?
It’s 100% NOT safe!! Call the police, only if you’ve spoken to your sibling first and they refuse to get new seats. The police can help you both find local resources to get free seats if she is in financial need! Also, in my state there’s an organization called childrens hotline or something where you can call 24/7 if you’re in need of something & depending on the urgency is how fast they can bring it to you, but they have free things for families in need! They’d be able to give her free car seats! I’m in NYS, reach out if you’re in my state or if you want my help locating an organization close to you! They brought me a free brand new pack n play in my time of need
Just buy new car seats
How about help them get new ones if they can’t afford it. Instead of just reporting them. Idk try seeing if they need help before you cause them to need more.
Why are you all jumping her ass about reporting her sister, The children are one and two years old they should be in really good car seats. The one year old should still be backward facing. If it’s only plastic and they’re broken they’re not helping the kids so yeah she shouldn’t just mind her own business. Those kids’ lives are at stake. Maybe her first thought is reporting them because her sister is an jerk and won’t listen to her. She’s not being a Karen by caring about those kids. For all you know maybe the sister will sell the new car seats for money. Give her constructive advice don’t be a dick.
Why don’t you buy your nieces new car seats and discard the old ones like a normal person would?
Unless there are other issues, just buy them new car seats…
How about trying to help them. Maybe they don’t have the money for 2 new car seats or they don’t realize there’s help. Talk to them
How about buying more if they can’t afford better instead of judging. And if there’s more to this story, then you should be concerned about more than unpadded car seats!
This is so petty, unbelievable!
I mean…if you have the time to go and report them, why not just use that time and see if you can find new seats to replace them if you can’t buy new ones? Maybe fb marketplace, your county social services office or WIC office or something? Why not try and HELP your nieces be safe instead of reporting it and potentially getting your sister/brother in trouble or made to look careless or neglectful?
Ugh… why would you report this?!? Why don’t you see if they need help getting new ones or a agency to help them!
Who needs family like this? report first? wtf HELP THEM
Why report them? That’s drastic. There are programs to help her get new seats or if she can’t afford them maybe you could help. I’m confused at why that would be your first thought? Did you inform them of your safety concerns and they are ignoring it?
Mind your own business seems like a good idea to me. Many people don’t even use car seats.
How about help her get new ones?
With family like you who needs enemies!! You are the example of why this world is so cold and hurtful! Those are your nieces, before jumping to hurt family why not gift them new seats? You went through and examined the seats and have thought about reporting her and even went as far as typing up your evilness to a group on Fb, you probably need to reevaluate your priorities and get help for yourself about why that’s your first thoughts instead of just going out to buy new car seats for “your” nieces! I don’t understand your thought process or reasoning on hurting family before helping. Glad you aren’t part of my circle. Smdh
If you love these kids and want to stay in their lives, then try to find a way to help them without stirring up family drama and getting people in trouble.
When my oldest was younger, she would get her car seat so dirty, I washed it several times, so many times it actually fell apart. At the time I was a single mother, barely able to pay my bills, so she rode in it for a month or so til I could afford a new/used one. I felt like a horrible parent the whole time, but it was definitely safer than nothing, I would honestly just got buy her new ones if you can afford it, I would have literally cried if someone had done the same for me🥺 it’s easy to judge when you don’t have to walk in someone’s shoes. And honestly even if you called cps or something they would probably just get her new ones. I had a cps case once and the bought me new pack and plays because the one my daughter was using was sinking in the middle.
Or you could help them.
Buy them new car seats…duh!! Stop judging and just get new seats!! If you cant afford them, them ask around your community…if I was closer I’d just give you mine…perfect condition. This is fir the kids…not creating issues within the family…
You would report your sister and/or your dad? You are a winner. 
how about helping out your nieces and get them some new car seats, instead of trying to create an even bigger problem.
I’d at least talk to them first
Maybe they don’t have money for nicer seats… maybe buy some for them. I know you’re coming from a good place, but try to help them. 
You can go to several places and they will give you free car seats. Extension office, some fire departments, police dept.
It’s 100% NOT SAFE or legal to use expire or damaged seats. Styrofoam broken is damaged. Altered seats are damaged.
Maybe suggest to her that the local state police departments will help you get new seats or maybe offer to help get new seats. If you’re not going to help then don’t say a word honestly.
Smh. Um, as an aunt you’d think you help before trying to destroy their household.
You can go to the highway patrol office in your state and they will GIVE YOU NEW CAR SEATS if parents are not able to afford them.
Maybe help them get new ones or help them find good condition used ones? What kind of person would do this instead of trying to help? People like you are the reason why families fall apart. 
InsteAd of reporting your family because I promise you these children will see far worse then bad car seat in the foster care system why don’t you go down and help them find two good car seats !
women shelter always check they have extras on hand some times ! Salvation Army! Some times they have a state program that pays for them do not throw family under the bus these kids in foster care have been placed with multiple multiple registered abusers !! Registered !! Ect ect ect as a kids who seen the and been in the system do not do this !! If you truly love you niece of nephews instead help them get involved !!by baby sitting doing yard sale buying them clothes anything to help
What?!?! Report them?!?! How about communicate with them?!?! Maybe offer to HELP!!!
Buy a couple of car seats?!?!
Wow…just wow.
Why not find them new car seats ? Tf ? Report them ?!?! Wow
Some insurance companies offer car seats at reasonable prices and walmart has some that are relatively inexpensive. Maybe offer to help, or offer some advice. Some people may not even realize carseats have an expiration date.
Maybe you should try and help them get them new car seats before reporting your own family…
Wow. This is your family and you want to report them instead of helping?!? Maybe instead of trying to cause them problems, you could help find a solution. Replace the car seats. Ask local charities, local Facebook groups, or a number of other places you can reach out to for help replacing the seats.
Maybe act as an adult and talk to the parents and find out why their children are in these seats. I’m sure (as a parent) they do not want to put their babies in these seats. Maybe money is an issue? Can you help them out? Can you find them a resource? They may be thinking something is better than nothing.
Before reporting I suggest find out the why behind the seats.
Could they have been washing the covers?
Maybe educate than report it
You could buy them new seats 
Maybe you need to regroup… The fact that the mom hasn’t provided the proper seats and you wasting time trying to figure out if you should report her… You are something else… Your Family needs to see this post to see how trifling you really are🙄
If they are otherwise good parents I would ask them why the seats are like that then maybe offer to help them get new ones, they may be struggling financially to buy them new ones. Carseats are expensive and having to buy 2 at the same time may cause them to not be able to pay a bill for that month or something. When your family falls into though times you should try and help not call family services on them as long as they are good parents, and you can be a good parent and not be able to afford something for your child because times are tough for a lot of people, especially people with multiple kids since daycare is anywhere from 500 to 1,000 a month per child in most places.
This is the problem with society. Instead of offering help or actually helping the family or the person in need, they just start accusing and judging them. Instead of trying to find the way to make her life more miserable, buy her new car seats.
Sounds to me like you like to make Trouble. The fact that you would even consider turning them In make me question your family morals. Like why would you intentionally
hurt your family?
Do what you can to help and not hurt. Maybe the kids parents can’t afford better ones and feel something is better than nothing.
Not everyone has money. Grrrrrr
If you’re so concerned find them new carseats 
Go to the fire stations and get her new ones…some give out free car seats
Maybe just buy them some new car seats.
Speak to your sibling first. If financially possible help them to get the kids new seats. If not financially possible then look into programs that offer cheap or free seats. If your sibling refuses to use new seats then they obviously don’t care about the kids safety and you can report them. I’m not sure how much good reporting your sibling will do since most cops and CPS don’t seem to care about carseat safety.
Not having any of the padding or covers isn’t illegal nor is having the label worn off and yes you would be ta if you called the cops or cps on them for something like that. If it is such an issue, surprise them with brand new car seats. But expect to drop a pretty penny on 2.
Wow! Help them get new ones…not criticize them. .
How about you bring it up to them? Car seats are kind of expensive and maybe moneys tight? I agree on caring about the kids safety but I wouldn’t go right to reporting someone
Instead of “reporting them” why don’t you find them some better ones and gift them to them. Or talk to your sister and ask If you can help with some newer carseats.
This world lacks in love and kindness when the question is whether or not to report them instead of how can I help them get car seats for their babies?
Oh wow, seriously? They are your kids, get those car seats to them, new ones
How about instead of reporting them, you speak with them and help with replacing them
Buy her new ones… maybe she can’t afford new ones… be a solution not a problem…
Instead, buy them, for her.
Just get them new car seats if the parents can’t afford to do so
Maybe try and help them out
Why would your first thought be to turn someone in??? Why wouldn’t your first thought (especially for family). Is what can I do to help???
Main thing is at least they are strapped in a car safety seat.
Offer ways to help her get 2 new ones…If she cannot afford new ones possibly a family member or local church would be willing to help.
Why don’t you offer to help buy car seats for her, maybe she is struggling??? Glad your keeping an eye out , hey at least you cared enough to ask, keep your head up:heart:
clearly the parents to your neices is one of your sibling i agree with everyone why would you report them and not help them out
Wow, this didn’t go as planned huh. You’re so quick to report. How about you get her a couple of car seats for them? Or ask people for donations to help them out. Why put those kids in the system? Grow a heart and compassion.
Not legal whatso ever… and if god forbid they were ever in an accident and one them were hurt or worse they could be charged with child endagerment up to murder for not having them in the proper seats.
Instead of reporting it and causing more problems for everyone, just get the kids new car seats as a gift. Help them out, don’t cause drama…
How about offer to help buy some new one
Bruh why report family smh I don’t get ppl. How about help out or mind your business. U could literally buy your nieces new or used car seats if you’re that concerned about their safety!!!
Can someone help buy them new ones?
How about offering to help them get approved car seats instead of being all Karen about it? Talk to your dad and explain the problem with the current car seats and why the kids need new ones.
I would buy them car seats instead of reporting them.
Only report if u can fight. Cause we’d be tussling.
Instead of try to get them in trouble why don’t you try to help them. Some folks have to use what they have.
Why not just help your sister out and get her some cars eats. If you can’t afford it, try contacting fire houses or police stations and see if they have or know of any programs that give away car seats.
Instead of reporting, I would buy them 2 carseats.
First, offer her help
OR, you could help get them new car seats. Wtf?
Why don’t you buy them new ones rather than turn her in
Can you or maybe someone just buy her some new ones
Why would you report your nieces car seats and not try to help instead? Maybe you should focus on being the sister and aunt and stop trying to be DCS!?!
Some people are uneducated about it. Instead of reporting or coming at them for only being able to afford those car seats… help them grow. Educate (politely) why they are the best option and maybe present them with better quality car seats or help them figure out how to go about obtaining them. People are so quick to judge in matters they have understanding about. Maybe this will help you grow too. Be a decent human.
Try either finding or buying new ones for them and educating the parents on how important it is to have car seat safety. I wouldnt jump to reporting them. Altho you may be able to go to human resources and see if they can help. Also if you have an Anns New Life center around you, they give out baby items free.
How about instead of reporting someone you love you find your neices safe car seats 
So your first thought wasn’t how can I help my sister but let me report her 
Ever stop to think maybe the padding or car seat cover is in the wash and they didn’t have time to put them back on before going to work or wherever?
Why jump to reporting them?
Talk with the parents first.
At least they have car seats!
Stop being a toxic person and help buy them new carseats. Garbage people like you make huge problems for people who are already struggling
Report your sister. Jeez what is this world coming to, how harsh. Could you maybe not talk to her about it and come up with a plan instead of asking strangers on Facebook whether to report your own sister.
It’s extremely bizarre that you’d rather report than help provide new car seats…
Target is giving a discount right now if you trade in the current car seat. Maybe you should try that instead of trying to get someone in trouble.
Instead of reporting, why not reach out to your local Health Department? Many have programs that offer carseat inspections and will trade out dilapidated seats with new seats free of charge. Or, buy and gift new seats.
Also in the meantime before they get new ones…ill tell them to put a blanket or some thing in it for padding
Or maybe you could help? Sheesh you sound like a wonderful person
Wow your a dick. My brothers would go out and buy me car seats if that were the situation and obviously ask me about it. Never turn me in though. I would do the same for them. Even if you personally can’t afford see if someone else can. My go’s.
