Impressed with my DH? Or disappointed in Graco?

I was showing my husband the Extend2Fit at Target today. When we were done looking at it, he was crouched down and started looking at the Nautilus. I started getting nervous that he just wanted to give up on this whole Rear-Facing thing and put our almost-3-year-old in a combination seat.

I asked him what was on his mind and he said. "This packaging. It implies that you should forward-face your child when they're still -- what's the oldest possible size of a onesie? 24 months?"

I didn't realize what he was talking about at first until I saw that the patterning of the box was made up in part by different clothes and accessories for different age groups, starting with onesies. "And it has the little matching hat? Like you'd have for a newborn?" he added. "That's gross and I don't like it."



I have to say that I agree that an average child who can still fit into a onesie and uses a 2-handled sippy cup should still be rear-facing, and I think Graco should adjust their packaging images...but more than that I am just so impressed that my husband noticed!

Way to go Nedra's DH! I haven't looked at the packaging at all on any seat.

That is interesting that he noticed the little silhouette designs. I would never have seen that, either.

I'm incredibly impressed with your DH for noticing! My DH would never, NEVER notice that.

I don't like anything about their packaging. I hate it when companies say it's the last seat ... That was definitely not true for us of the Nauti.

I don't even know what I thought those rainbow blobs on the packaging were, good for him for picking that out
No wonder at least one of these a month gets returned because people find out it's not an RF seat (ok, stealing the name 3-in-1 from Dorel's convertibles is the real problem, but yeah, onesies and baby hats don't help AT ALL).
I'm glad we don't have the boxes on the floor at BRU anymore, the toddler on the Turbo box used to just make me wince daily.

I wish they did not tout it as the last car seat you will only need because it implies it is the only car seat you will only need. I have seen people try to install these backwards..
