Imagine for a moment that a set of parents has come to you to ask you to work with the grandparents of their baby -- who are also part-time caregivers to the baby. The grandparents have struggled with using the infant seat (both installation and securing the child snugly) so the parents want to make sure they get all the right info when they start using the newly-purchased convertible.
What would you be sure to cover in the lesson and what would you maybe leave out in order to not overwhelm them? Should parents be in charge of monitoring and adjusting the harness, when to take out the inserts, etc or should the grandparents be taught all that? Assume that grandparents would need to be able to install/uninstall the seat from time to time.
Any tips for helping them remember the information? Or just tell then to follow the manual?
Any tips if this is not a professional lesson? Like, if it's your own in-laws and you're struggling with how to navigate their role as caregivers and their role as your in-laws?
Thanks!
PS -- Seat is a britax Roundabout and car is an '09 forester.
