not just any car seat for a spica cast......

A child in a spica cast can not fit in a normal car seat. I was told by a friend that the hospital that she had her cast put on had car seats for spica casts available for loan. I called and of course they only have two and they are both loaned out. They did have a harness, I am not a fan of the harness. I don't really see how it can be safe!

The top part straps around the child, the black straps go in between the legs. the little strap raps around the leg of the child, you then lay the child in the car long ways on the seat, and run the seat belt through the harness. It takes for ever to get the child in it! and Lydia hated it, cried the whole time she was in it!

I happen to have a really good friend in the medical field that called around and found a car seat for us to use in a different city! it has been a life saver!!!
