The first seat we had to install before we could take our son home from the hospital was done by my husband with the help of a friend who is a child safety seat expert. I was on bed rest when we got around to doing it so I had no idea all that went into installing a seat. That is until Parker grew out of his infant carrier seat and we had to move up to a bigger model.
You might think installing a car seat is a piece of cake. Just put a seatbelt through the base and you're in, right? Wrong. It actually takes a couple of people working together to get it in and get it in tight. And i've found that when it comes to my son's car seat and safety I guess you could say i'm a perfectionist. It's got to be in right or it's got to be done over again. Thank goodness I married a patient man and have a good friend who knows a lot more about car seats than I do. Because it took a little more than an hour to install seats in both our cars. But you know what they're in tight and I know when I take my son out on the road he's as safe as he can be and that piece of mind is priceless.
