How about you help out and buy 2 new brand new carseats? Or can you not afford that? And if you can’t, then how do you expect her to while raising 2 children? People like you who would rather hurt both those children and their mother instead of help them are disgusting. Shame on you!!

Can you help buy new ones? We had one missing Styrofoam for a bit… we simply could not afford a replacement. Rather than jump to a report, help find a solution. I doubt it us on purpose

If it was me. I would be buying them new car seats. If you have kids they aren’t cheap. I wouldn’t be snitching as I’d be helping out instead . I have 3 daughters. All 3 of mine my parents bought their car seats as my husband was military. $500 every two weeks would barely get us by.

Not sure why “reporting” would be your first thought…but definitely share some information about car seat safety? If you can swing it, buy new ones. If not, help find resources for him to find them some new ones, if money is an issue.

She may not know that it’s wrong. We grew up in car seats that were mainly plastic. She probably has no clue. Offer to buy her new ones.

Look into places that donate car seats. That could help get proper ones if money is an issue. Even some groups on Facebook can help (Down On Your Luck groups).

Your local department of human services, WIC office, and sometimes even fire stations can help with getting new car seats for free. I’d call those places and get some information.
Target usually does a trade in where you get a coupon for a new one when you bring old one in. You should offer to take old ones and buy new ones if you can afford too. Or possibly ask other family members to chip in money to get the seats together as a gift.

I wouldn’t report it! But I would mention to her that you noticed the car seats were unsafe our seats were unsafe and in rough shape. And then tell her that she could reach out to wick or even the hospital and see about resources to get a new car seat if you can’t help her get one… Police stations also have car seats but if you use them as a resource just mentioned that The car seats are needed
Or maybe see what you can do to help instead of making the situation worse?

Go to Walmart and buy her new ones!
Go buy them some new car seats, there are cheap ones that work just as good.
Contact the company that makes the car seats. Most of the time they can and will replace them or send you a coupon or discount for new seats.
Besides the previously commented above, what if they washed them and can’t figure out how to put the covers back on? ASK!!!

Since you obviously think you are so high and mighty you might want to keep your eyes open for karma. There’s a few steps to be taken here before you blow up your sister & nieces’ lives. One talk to your sister. I know what a novel idea right. Two talk to your dad. And last either buy them new carseats or help her find an organization that can help her. Since you like doing research online so much you shouldn’t have any problem locating an organization that can help. Seriously though mind your own damn business and shut-up or put up!
Don’t report just support!! Buy her 2 new ones and help her out. There’s aces that donate. Check your local health dept or fire dept they can help you find some

How about confronting him nicely and say the car seats aren’t safe, Maybe offer to go with and help pick out new ones or even see if you have friends that would be willing to donate one not being used there are so many more positive options.

Report it?? REALLY? How about trying to find resources to help replace them? Be kind
Please talk talk to her, maybe she needs help
Maybe bring her to the local police station see if they can help her… ours help family with new ones if a family or parent can’t afford to buy a new one… But of not just buy her some new one of look on Facebook see if anyone has some in good condition and get them for her
I don’t understand why anyone in the family doesn’t want to step up and help them if it’s that bad? You want to report your sister or brother and make their life much worse? What if they take the kids? Do you want to see your nieces in foster care because their aunt couldn’t help or mind her business? I’m sorry but this is sad

It is not like they are abused. Why would you even consider reporting them. Is your like so perfect that you could judge and cause trouble. Instead you should get on your knee’s and ask forgiveness. Then go out and get them new car seats. While your at it get them groceries for the week.

Why don’t you ask her if she needs help before you call and report them that’s just mean. Maybe they’re in a tough spot financially car seats are very expensive although there are places you can go to get free ones. I don’t know about where you live but where I live places like the police station and the fire station have free car seats that they will install and make sure our safe for your child so maybe look into that?

Unfortunately today’s day and time as she just proved family and what it means it’s a dying bred . It is a sad time when one would rather report a family member no matter how u feel about the parent the kids come first. So get off your ass and help them get some off Facebook or cough up the money and help them . After all you said it was YOUR FAMILY . FOR HEAVEN SAKE.
Maybe they aren’t aware of that being a potential safety hazard and instead of making the situation worse, you could talk to them about it and possibly help get them new seats… They could just need help…
Who needs enemies with family members like this? Good grief help the girl get car seats.

No do not report. First of all, that’s family. I would tell my brothers a million times they’re doing something wrong, but never report them. Find ways to help your family. Second, reporting them isn’t going to do anything. If that’s the only clear indication of “neglect” then you’re wasting your breath.
You’re family? Why wouldn’t you just offer to provide new ones? I swear family ain’t family anymore

Or maybe ask her if she needs help getting them the proper ones? If you’re her aunt you’re family. She clearly doesn’t have the means to afford the proper ones.

I would ask your sister if she needs help paying for new car seats. Heck maybe take it in your own hands and buy them new seats. If you are on a budget, Cosco convertible car seats are about $40-$60. If you want nicer ones for them, I have a Britax Allegiant for my daughter. We paid $189 for it. That is incredibly dangerous and not safe for them to be riding in the car seats like that

I applaud your efforts to be aware of what’s happening with the little people. But Why go right to thinking to report your niece? Unless there’s family strife, maybe ask if she even knows those car seats are being used, and how can you help get them replaced. Build the family up. So many struggles these days, and most people are just doing their best to get by.

maybe just buy them new ones?? or pick them up at a garage sale or church sale. Not that difficult to be nice.
I would most definitely but my niece or nephew new car seats!
The WIC program here assisted with car seats and breast pumps also churches sometimes re gift them. They are unsafe but calling the police isn’t going to help the situation. Do something pro active for those children.

Love all the comments I’m seeing. Reporting is not the best way to go. Especially if you want to maintain any kind of relationship with your sister is it?
Offering help and support would be the first port of call for any decent non Karen in my opinion 
And Hay it could be worse, they could have no car seats at all…
Just try put yourself in their position maybe

Maybe she can’t afford them. Carseats are expensive. Ask her if she’d like for you to help get even end hand ones. Only thing you could do is report to dhs and all dhs will probably do is help with resources to get better carseats. Police might give tickets but I’m unsure as I’ve never known anyone at all to use carseats in conditions like that. But seriously help her out. There are resources. 2-1-1… WIC… churches something has to be out there to help

Buy new ones! What do you think will happen if you were to report? You want the parent in trouble? You want them to tell them that the children can not be transported without cushioning, etc. Wish some of these posts weren’t anonymous so they would respond to such nonsense…takes minimal effort to help someone else in need. Stop being “this” type of person!

I’m reading these comments and all the hate omg! Someone said, “well aren’t u a sweet aunt!” Hold folks I agree that before reporting them she should talk to the parents first, I see an aunt who obviously wants to make sure those babies are safe. I am assuming she knows the parents well enough and knows if it would do any good to say anything to them or just maybe she already has said something and they ignored her. Instead of having on her for caring about the babies safety give her the links to these resources so that she can help. Do better folks. Mam thank u for caring about those babies safety. Reach out to a pediatrics office or local health unit and ask about resources. I hope everyone has the day they deserve!

So you clearly had enough time to check online if it was legal instead of helping to buy one or even search places for used ones??? Yeah it sucks but if you searched carseats for little ones at that age, you would see they are not cheap. Instead of asking facebook how you should report them, you should ask your sibling if they need help getting a new carseat or just get it. At least they are doing what they can to make sure they are in a carseat!

Were the carseats in the car or in the house? If they were In the house maybe the inserts were being washed? Did you ask? Calling about the car seats instead of asking or helping is just flat out not okay. People struggle sometimes and if you were the one struggling would you want someone to call and potentially get your child taken or would you want them to offer to help?
