Another Note About Those Damn Car Seats

It should give you some idea of just how annoying they are by the amount of e-mail I'm getting, which is substantial.

Everyone is reminding me that sitting or kneeling on the car seat as you install it is absolutely necessary to getting it tight. That's true, and it's one of the most counter-intuitive things ever. It would have never even crossed my mind when I first tried to install a car seat that I'd have to put all my weight on it like that. It's also why Gloria could never install the seat snugly, because she only weighs 105 pounds.

Glen Haag also reminded me that you can purchase a car seat with a permant base and detachable carriage. So you buy two bases, but not two full seats.
