Be careful when putting babies in their car seats.. Ellie has 2nd degree burn from her car seat buckle the metal part.. When I sat her in the car like I normally do she freaked which is normal for Ellie. When I got home and went to change her she had a big blister from where it was so hot and burnt her. Thankfully she is going to be fine I took her to children's to get it looked at. I just don't wanna see it happen to another baby. So make sure to check the metal buckle part.

My mother did that to me when I was little and I turned out fine *twitch*

Ooh, that looks sore. Thanks for raising awareness, OP. Those seat belts can be so freaking hot, they burn big people too.
philosorapstar
Whoa yikes. Never even considered anything like that.

OMG!!! Thanks for the heads up... I've got an Ellie too, gonna watch out for hot buckles now.
XenoWoof
Oh my goodness.. poor sweety. I usually cover my seats with blankets to prevent this if I can.
ImLukeSkywalkerImHereToRescueYou
Yeah, bring your car seat in the house with this much heat if it's a detachable one.
MexicanDad
I am paranoid about where I sit my little boy on. My wife always nagging me about it. I'm showing her this see if she won't get paranoid.
emuhleee
I want to pop it so bad
SomeGuyFromJustSouthOfTheMiddleOfNowhere
Many parts of the seat can get hot - use a baby blanket to cover the entire seat when the car sits in the sun
BugJuiceComesFromWhoYouAre
Good advice.
goyathegreat
+1 for sharing the info instead of guilting yourself to silence

I cover the buckles w/ a receiving blanket when not in use. Keeps the metal parts from becoming branding irons. Glad your baby will be OK.

I'm usually very careful about the buckles, but that is a great idea. I'm going to do it from now on.
Pandageddon
Thanks for the tip! :3

Never leave your mix tapes in the backseat
DeanoSauruz
To the top with you!!

Babies are like mixtapes- the makers have unconditional love. No matter how bad they are.
SugarSmack
That's awful. Sometimes bad things happen to good parents, thanks for making a post to help others. Hope she heals fast and isn't in pain.
coenearts
Sorry it happened but you aren't a bad parent: bad stuff you don't expect just happens sometimes.
MrPinheadLarry
OP says it's not his kid
coenearts
Not a bad babysitter then.
2muchNickotine
Aww, a baby dickbutt :)
DontcallmeLen
I hope your family name begins with a u or a c. Branding achieved.
LittleRedHoodie
I used to have to put a towel or blanket in the seat. Luckily when I first found out, I touched the hot part before she did.
thisheretexasdude
That should be the FIRST thing you check. Also, don't put them in with only diapers on.
InvadingYourSpaces
They probably had clothes on, which is why the skin isn't stuck to the buckle still. She did mention finding the wound while changing her.

Hey, atleast I'm honest
FieldAgentDutchess
That sucks OP.
randomweirdness
damn son! Even as an adult I can't touch the buckle in my car in summer (australia) if it's been in the full sun all day. Can't imagine
randomweirdness
a kids skin would handle that too well either
azazyel
Now you're going to need to make up a story as to how it got that scar.
TiannaBundy
poor baby. hope she feels better!

Luckily, I don't have crotchfruit that I have to strap into cars or be responsible for. Just keep it slathered in Vaseline, is my advice.
ShockandDawwww
First, +1 for crotch fruit. Second, don't put Vaseline on burns. Source- the ER after I burned the skin off most of my hand and forearm
Teh4ChanHacker
Oh, I didn't mean Vaseline on the burn specifically. I just meant to coat the crotchfruit in Vaseline head to toe. I don't know why. Just bc
DarthTurducken
Christ..she didn't cry at all? I would've screamed like a bitch at least once
pallentx
He said she always screams when he puts her in the seat - didn't seem out of the ordinary.

Oh my fuck. You're brave for allowing these assholes to judge your parenting skills but you reminded me to check. Thanks.
LyricChae
As someone who has numerous encounters helping strangers deliver first aid (I've taken RC courses), you can tell what's an accident or not.
yourbigdaddy
It's not my kid.. the source is in the description
BugJuiceComesFromWhoYouAre
Oh I thought you were linking your own Facebook lol. The description isn't in quotes. But +1 for spreading awareness anyway.
ixgs
it's a good thing she doesn't allow public comments, otherwise she would have had to deal with all the burger flippers of imgur flaming her
MOTHERFUCKINGODIN
You should put it in quotes next time then.
yourbigdaddy
How do I do that?
mijk
Yeah, I always touch the buckles before putting my baby in her seat

"He is a better parent. After that, he is OP." -You, confusing than and then in this exact statement.
iTouchYourCatAtNight
Could be nice if you explained it instead of being a jerk about it, i speak 3 language but i'm not perfect at any of them :)
xXMC2599Xx
Then = one thing after another; than = one thing more than another. I do understand your problem :P

Maybe he's just got more experience.
