I thought when I heard the news article "I'm sure someone said this happened to them on OHBABY the other day!" and sure enough it was you! I am so happy that your little girl is OK!
p.s. I know that some parents on other parenting forums might pick fault in your story and for what happened, but I hope you ignore it! None of us are infallible and you deserve a pat on the back for taking the time to remind others of the importance of these kind of things!  ------------- Bonnie, Mum to a 1 1/2 year old & a 3 year old - still RF in their Brio Zento's CPST & Safe2Go Technician www.childrestraintsafety.com

You guys are sooooooooooo nice!! Thanks! All this fame is doing my head in though.. I was in my pj's and then phone rang, again, and this time it was our local paper "The Press", wanted to do an article, so I have quickly spurced myself up for them to come and take a photo, poor DH is really sick and made him get of the couch to clean all the toys off the floor! ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

oh you lucky thing! hehehehe *jealous* I am forever trying to get people to run stories for me (just to educate the public on car seats etc) but very rarely is anyone interested LOL Not that I mind, there are so many worthy causes that deserve attention and yours is one of them. Enjoy it while it lasts and don't forget to keep a copy of the news show to show your kid(s) then they(re) older and the newspaper too! ------------- Bonnie, Mum to a 1 1/2 year old & a 3 year old - still RF in their Brio Zento's CPST & Safe2Go Technician www.childrestraintsafety.com

Well done Lisha. I normally watch TV3 and hadn't been on here today and when I heard the story start I thought of you and thought how terrible it was that this had happened again (after already reading your story) and when they said "Lucy" I realised it was you!
I think you spoke really well, and I hope you find that young guy who helped you so you can thank him. I can only imagine how he must feel - he saved someones life and not everyone can say they have done that!!!!!!

I saw it too - I also think you came across great and the whole piece was really well done. I tell you what, all 3 that I have heard of happening like this (the 2 in Oz and now you) have all been 3 wheeled buggys - it has really put me off them! -------------
