Random PSA

I'm aware that I'm a little more strict and "paranoid" than a lot of other moms I know, but I really don't think I'm off base on this one...

Your baby (that's about 5 pounds over the limit for his infant carseat anyway) should NOT be left ALONE, in his carseat, on the floor of Chick-Fil-A, while you wait in line and order and wait for your food. While you were gone, another random kid started rocking your kid (way too roughly) before his mom could pull him away. Oh, and that super pitiful, high pitched, "I've been abandoned" cry that echoed across the restaurant? Yeah, that was your child. I noticed you were so concerned you didn't even turn toward the sound.

Yes, I am the big softie that (though I LOVED the portability of the infant seat when they were asleep) usually had my baby in a sling wherever I went and for sure never let them out of sight at the ripe ol' age of 6 months. But really, I don't get the reasoning behind not looping the handle of that carseat over your arm and keeping the baby with you. They'll carry your tray to the table for you and they're awfully nice about it too. My poor husband about had a heart attack and I think it took every bit of self control he had not to pick the baby up himself when it started crying.
