It’s sad how ppl just run to reporting family or others at that matter. What if that was you? What if she just reported you without even mentioning anything to you? Talk to her and see if she needs help. Maybe someone should send this post over to her so she can see how damn shady you are. Smdh.
Grow up! Why would you report this? Be the bigger women and help get the correct car seats. There enough kids put in the system for petty things like this that could be helped and avoided.

So unless those kids are being starved, neglected and /or mistreated there is no reason to report someone for either not knowing or not having the resource to get new car seats. Be a grown up and tell them the car seats aren’t safe and help them find a program in your area. Starting at the local WIC office or even the fire station. If they don’t have a program set up they will point your brother in the right direction.

Health departments also give carseats or help with payment so it won’t cost as much. Or even a crisis center for parents who needs help. I know some places don’t have crisis centers but some do. I wouldn’t call unless you know the children are being neglected. If they are being neglected then call in with everything you have. If the car seats are the only issue then please help find resources to get car seats. I’m glad you are looking out for those babies. Not many people would.

I think step one is definitely saying something to mom and dad…however coming as the aunt who cares enough to even notice something like an unsafe car seat or being without a coat in the middle of winter or not having shoes whatever…I myself can’t afford to buy two brand new car seats so for everyone saying that if it were me “buy new ones” is completely useless advice because do you think if she could afford new ones she wouldn’t have done it already? Because I would for my babies unless I didn’t have the money. Communication is first. But at the end of the day the babies come first so use your judgment
You could be a good person and buy your niece and nephew a new safe seat instead of thinking the right thing to do it turn them in… smh. Wtf

You can find cheaper used ones at resale shops that aren’t expired if new ones are not an option.

Why “report” when you can help. There are many programs that will help with car seat replacement.

If your that worried maybe you should find a way to replace them they probably having a hard time. You can get pretty nice ones at the thrift church stores. Also I think police stations carry some . If your local I have one that was only used a few times for my grandbabies you are welcome to. I always believe you help others whenever you can so if you feel they are unsafe try finding a way to help these parents out
If those were my nieces I’d buy them new car seats. I wouldn’t go at the length you’re trying to go at.

It’s hard to watch kids in unsafe car seats but unless they knew and just didn’t care about them then I’d speak to them and tell them they need to get new ones. I’m not sure who you’d contact about it all. Maybe just say what you have said here about no padding and things so hopefully they would get new ones. If they can’t afford them try and find help as people have mentioned about there are organisations that can help. I no local to me here in the U.K. our fire service can point us in the right direction. I hope you manage to get it sorted as all kids need to be safe.
Why don’t you be a good family member and BUY THEM CARSEATS IF YOUR SO CONCERED ABOUT IT??? You really wanna report this to cps and possibly get the kids taken? Pathetic

Buy them new car seat, if you can’t afford it, maybe ask family to pitch in. Or while you’re on google, you can look up how to get free car seats in your area. But geez, your sister is raising two small children, help her out! Don’t cause her any more stress calling CPS on her!

I think you mightve missed a few steps. I think first I would talk to them, let them know they aren’t safe, and ask them what you can do to help or see if you have friends getting rid of old car seats, ya know? Something other than involving social services right off the bat

It’s not the aunts responsibility to go buy car seats for them, it’s the parents job to keep their kids safe. If they can’t afford new ones, they should’ve asked someone for help instead of endangering their children. I wouldn’t report them, I’d bring it up and say the car seats are unsafe and they need new ones, and if they ask for help and you can help, then go ahead.

if they can’t afford correct car seats for their children, they shouldn’t have even had them in the first place let alone a year apart so young. This is just irresponsible parenting, if you know you can’t get the necessary items your child will absolutely need for their safety why be so selfish to bring them into your messy life??

Maybe they just took off covers for washing 
my nephews were terrible pukers as lil ones. Any long rides caused them motion sickness. It was horrible. They actually bought extra covers and sometimes put plastic bags on the seats prior to long trips. There were several occasions when traveling the boys had to ride on bare plastic though, or on a towel. You can perhaps contact child & fam services to ask to get seats. Sometimes they give vouchers.

When I worked for local hospital we had a group that worked with in the hospital (in ob) that worked with a county agency to get car seats for those in need & you just trade in the expired ones or broken ones for new. Sometime if funds where low you are expected to give a small payment.

There are resources out there for free car seats. Some hospitals give out car seats if you ask or stop by the fire station and ask if they have any. Usually there is a two hour class involved that educates the parents on car safety and how to properly install them and to look for signs of wear and tear. Educate and help them first before reporting them.

Instead of being an ass why don’t you help her purchase new ones instead of reporting your own family. Family helps family right?
At least they are in carseats some kids don’t even have one so stop complaining. Yes they need new ones but you know what them sitting on plastic won’t kill them. Hell some of my family members years ago just sat their kids on the plastic and buckled them up and said let’s hit the road.

Instead of calling and reporting maybe try n help them. New ones are expensive but u can usually find gently used non expired ones on fb marketplace or reach out to a “buy nothing” group in your community and ask for one. I’m hoping you’ve already considered this before deciding to just report a family member which is pretty harsh.
