not a good way to look at the carseat

Steven and I were installing Lydia’s new carseat in Elliott earlier this evening and we spent some time familiarizing ourselves with all the straps, clips and hold-em-downs so we won’t panic the first time we strap a flailing girl in it. It’s pretty similar to her carrier seat, only bigger and it doesn’t move.

Steven was searching for the strap release with his index finger — it’s underneath all the padding — when we realized how naughty the whole thing looked.

Steven finally found the trigger release and said, “Hey, the classic Two-Fingered Exploratory Maneuver actually works best for that! You know you’ve found it when the carseat’s moaning!”
