Lindsey’s Not-So-Clever Moment

Well one of many of my not-so-clever moment would have to be when I was driving down the road with my son strapped into his car seat so safe n snug, when as I was going down a big hill, I applied the breaks only to see the entire car seat shuffle forward into the back of the front passenger’s seat…Apparently the night before when my husband borrowed the car seat to use in his car, he did not strap it back into my car, but rather just placed it back in it’s proper spot…so being the not-so-clever parent I strapped my son in the car seat never checking to see that the car seat was strapped into the car! I am grateful we were still on our private road and that I didn’t really have a reason to break harder which would have resulted in him flinging into the front seat rather then doing the car seat shuffle. Now I jiggle that car seat every time I put him in it, just to make sure. I hope my car seat snafu helps others feel better about theirs.
