Well, the car crisis of 2008 (hopefully, the very, very last one for years) has been solved. Yesterday, Dad and I went out and I bought a CR-V for us. (This is me doing the happy dance :O))) And the car runs great---clearly, an awful lot of thought went into making this car fun, safe, and family friendly. And it's not (gods be praised) a minivan. So, life is good.
But... (Yes, you knew there had to be one)
...I seem to have flunked Carseat Installation 101. See, Roisin has now officially outgrown her "infant" car seat (she's all of 14 months old, but she's got her dad's height.) So I went and got her a blindingly expensive (but ultra-safe) car seat that's supposed to be easy to install.
Riiiiggght. Iif you can do calculus in Sanskrit, only then would this be considered "easy." Because after an hour of fussing with the thing, I still don't think it's in there right. The good news: I know what I did wrong (I think I do, anyway.) The bad news? I still have to fix it.
At least I have the car tomorrow. :)
(And if you're wondering why Rob didn't install it---he did the last car seat. I figured I could do this one. ;-))
So, may all your tether lines be untangled and your LATCH attachments be easy to find and access. :)
