I forgot to buckle Oliver in his carseat after grocery shopping today. I sat him in his seat and then loaded up the car. I was going to buckle him in after getting everything out of the cart. I was about a 1/2 mile down the road when I looked in my mirror and saw him playing with the bottom buckle. I pulled right over and buckled him in. I felt like a bad mom. This happened one other time when Damon was driving and I was in the back seat with Oliver. Luckily I got saw right away. Has anyone else done this?

Yesterday!

We were driving across a long strip mall parking lot from the store to the restaurant. DH and I had forgotten to buckle Henry up after we got his picture taken. I felt HORRIBLE.

Let's just be thankful everything went okay and we learn from our mistakes,

I did it once when I was looking after my lil cousin, many years ago. Because of that I make sure I buckle Kirsty in and then buckle the car seat in before I do anything else.

I don't think I've done that but I've made lots of other mistakes.

I've done it more than once. Sometimes it just happens when you're in a rush, but I am always thankful when I do something like that and nothing bad happens. It does make you think about it more after doing that.

I haven't done that specifically, but I've done other stuff that made me feel like a bad mom Like when I was taking pics of Reid, we posed him on his rocking horse and he fell off That was DH's fault though, mostly. lol

I have never made that mistake, but I have made others. I dropped Landen once... ok twice he wasn't hurt and it was not a far drop but I felt horrible.

But don't be too hard on yourself we all make mistakes!!!

Don't be too hard on yourself. We've all made mistakes and I'm sure we're going to make more. Hopefully they will never be anything major.

I posted this before in a car seat post but I'll admit it again!!! I hadn't realized one day that some friends had unbuckeled the base of the infant seat when I took them to lunch at work on day (trying to find or figure out the middle seat buckle).....and the next time I put Harrison's carseat into the base I didn't check that the base was secured in with the seatbelt. Well I turned a corner and the whole dang gone thing (seat and base) went flying to the other side of the car (flipped over) with my son in it. I pulled over right away and there he was happily strapped in his infant seat upside down under the cocoon of the infant seat.....he didn't fuss or anything but the I was shocked the the centripicle force of the turn....and mordified that I hadn't checked the buckles.....that was the last time that happened!

You're not a bad mom - we all make mistakes. I had to take my son to the ER like three times in two months around the time he was beginning to walk....talk about feeling like a bad mom.....

Oh Resi it happens don't worry too much. You're not a bad mom at all. Youre a great mom! A bad mom would be one that doesn't care

Oh yes!!! I remember It was the 4th of July. I buckled the top one that click's together and didn't put the one inbetween her leg's. I was riding in the back with her and realized after about a 15 min car ride, Opp's!!!
