Last night Steve and I came to a crossroads in our relationship. Installing a new carseat. Madeline had far outgrown her baby one and it was time to install the new one. How hard can it be right?2 college degrees, some graduate school, and an hour later we're tired, sweaty, and angry at each other.
Ok so I'm exaggerating a bit....but not that much. No WONDER fire departments want to do this for you. Putting in a car seat (at least our carseat) was extremely complicated. LATCH system - non-LATCH system - seatbelts - noodle - rolled up towels. ARG!
I was ready to pull a Britney by the end of it and just hold Madeline on my lap.
So now - in the daylight of a new day and X hundred of dollars later - I think we've finally decided on a new carseat.
(A special shoutout to all my peeps who answered ALL my carseat questions so patiently!!)

Groovy butterflies, dude! If you thought the carseat was tough, I have one single piece of advice. Do not even think about asking him to install Tot Loks. 10 times worse than a carseat.
Amen on the tot locks, Jess.
Hope your next kiddo is a girl or else those butterflies might need some mustaches or trucks or something ;)
We have the same carseat, but in Cowmooflage and its good, the only complaint I have is the straps get twisted. But its comfy and safe and they can ride it in forever--till like 65 pounds!
We didn't actually get the butterflies - I just stole that imagine from the internet! :)
