I just wanted to rant to someone I knew would understand. I m watching my neighbors baby and she supplied me with his infant seat which I installed in my van. I have now taken him to town three times and I have to say I HATE that seat. It has got to be the least user friendly seat I have ever used. To start off with the crotch straps have to be puzzled together to fit into the crotch clasp. Its easier to do if the straps are loose but the way the harness adjuster/seat cover is made its almost impossible to get your finger in there to loosen the straps. So I have to puzzle two plastic pieces together and fit them into the crotch clasp at the same time on a wiggley baby. It takes me many tries to keep the pieces puzzled and multiple tries to get it to go in the clasp. It takes me a good 10 minutes just to strap him in. I cannot imagine someone with little carseat knowledge/experience trying to use this seat. I imagine 90% would leave the straps loose just so they could strap the baby in. It makes me understand more why so many babies in town have loose straps. You almost have to leave them that way to use the seat.
