1. Kid throws up in rear facing Britax Boulevard. I've hated this seat for years. Now its covered in barf.
2. When getting barf covered boy out of barf covered seat I notice that the harness needs to be adjusted. Then I notice that the harness adjuster has just completely stopped working.
3. I decide to remove the whole seat and notice that the lightweight locking latchplate on my vehicles seat belt has completely cracked. This is the second one that has broken in my vehicle. The sons of the devil who invented these will spend many a millenia in purgatory trying to install carseats with locking clips.
4. I also notice that the seat belt securing my daughter's Radian is no longer buckled. I know this happened that morning when my other daughter reached into the crevice between the seats to retrieve a toy train. But I didn't think to check at the time and drove them to school.
5. I go to the attic to get an extra Radian. I also grab an unused Radian cover (it was cheaper at the time to buy the seat and then the girly cover separately). I examine the seat and notice that the sticker says it only rear faces to 33lbs even though the box (which I still have) says 35lbs. I specifically bought it because it rear faced to 35lbs (the highest weight at the time).
6. I reinstall the Radian that accidentally came unbuckled. Then I realize that the only locking clip I have is attached to the back of the seat so I uninstall it again to retrieve the clip.
7. After reinstalling my daughter's Radian, I install my son's Radian then realize that I a) forgot to use the locking clip and b)forgot to lock the rearfacing base to the seat. So I uninstall.
8. Then I install the seat correctly after standing on the seat (I was too tired and wimpy, especially with the locking clip). The whole time my son was in the car honking the horn for all the neighbors to hear, suddenly and miraculously cured of whatever made him throw up in the first place.
