I F*cking Hate Car Seats!!!

Today was an auspicious day. It was time to replace the car seat we had and my wife and I got up early to attempt it’s installation. I write this because we have had two previous car seats and the same thing happens every time. I end up swearing a lot and hurting my knees and swearing some more then finally it gets installed.

Well, it was so so this time. We got it installed, but it still rocks to the left too easily. I have no idea how the guys at Babies-R-Us install the car seats while not swearing up a storm in front of the family asking them for help to put it in. It’s just insane. Why can’t they make an easy to install car seat?

I did call the local police station and they said they have some people who do that and they took my name and number and would get back to me some time this week.

Some time this week?

O.K., it was a Sunday, but still, some time this week? That’s like, “I’ve fallen and I can get up!” O.K. we’ll get back to you this week. I know that’s a bit overboard, but we hardly ever go out without our daughter. Next week doesn’t cut it.

So we have it installed, but according to the directions if we ever get into a crash our daughter is dead, which I’m sure voids the warranty because car seat makers don’t like to have dead kids in their history, but the thing still is rocking back and forth a lot. Maybe I could take my anger out on our car dealer who pointed out that when we have kids the car was all ready for the car seat because it had the LATCH hooks built in, but for now…I hate f*cking car seats.
