How would you handle this?

I'm glad you guys had a good talk! I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside now.

A big for you for what you said and how you said it and one for you SIL for being receptive. What a great update.

What an awesome ending! I'm so glad to hear that your SIL was receptive to your information. Now if only I could be as successful with my friends/family/acquaintances.

MyRide has some cute prints; safety 1st complete air I think has a purple flowerly print now; Britax typically has some cute girly ones as well. Sunshine Kids (radians) has some nice ones too, but I don't think I'd recommend those seats to someone who has historically had difficulty getting car seats installed tightly.

That's a really good approach.
