DH is a great guy, great husband, and a great dad. He is, however, slightly careless and absentminded in a lot of aspects of life. If you imagine a clueless professor-type with his pants stuck in his sock and half a shirttail out, you wouldn't be far off.
He's terrible about buckling the kids in correctly. If we're together, I just do it and it's fine. DS rides in a Click Safe Boulevard, which isn't perfect but at least gives him some feedback, and a Ranier which doesn't need harness adjustment with every trip - just for this reason.
DD is only 3 months and rides in a Snugride 30. It's more difficult to buckle her in as she's smaller and floppier. Today I'm working and he's home and he sent me a picture with her chest clip at her belly button and the loose straps falling off her shoulders.
Everytime I bring it up, he rolls his eyes, thinks I'm being dramatic, and says it's good enough. But this isn't like the best way to load the dishwasher or how you squeeze the toothpaste tube or which way the toilet paper comes off the roll. There's a clear right way and this isn't it, and it's very important for the safety of our kids.
Any tips or advice? Anything anyone has used to get through to a loved one?
