This will make any parent think twice about using car seat accessories.
Hannah McKinney Pope took to Facebook to share a warning about the belt covers that were attached to her daughter’s car seat during an accident.
The Georgia mum says her little girl, Robyn, was ejected from the car seat because the sheepskin fabric of the belt covers slid against her shirt.
An absolutely terrifying scenario for every mum and/or dad, we think you’ll agree.
Hannah explains how the parts of the car seat were intact after the crash, when “the vehicle cart wheeled twice and rested on its side”.
“She was involved in a flip over car accident. The vehicle cart wheeled twice and rested on its side.
“When we got to the vehicle all straps were tight and in tact plus car seat still in base still attached to seat but with the force of the vehicle the sheep skin slid against her shirt and made her go flying out”.
Thankfully Robin only received minor injuries, a fractured arm and a few cuts and bruises, but it was a terrifying experience for the whole family and Hannah wants to save other parents from the same situation.
This mum has urged parents to avoid using any accessories that do not come with the car seat as they can prove dangerous.
“Please please please people DO NOT put things on a car seat that did not come that way from the manufacturer. Plus anything on a car seat in a accident voids the warranty”.
