By the seat of our pants

Yesterday Wendy and I purchased a new car seat for Joy. Wendy did a lot of research on them and found the one she wanted. We cashed in a couple of gifts cards and had a discounted coupon. So we went over to the store to get it.

They had one that was ten dollars cheaper on the shelf. We thought about getting it, but the store did not have it in stock. So Wendy got the one she was going to get anyway.

We did not have to pay anything for the car seat. That is good news to me.

Then came the hard part. Having to install it. Everyone talked about how easy it is. The clerk and the internet. So I go out last night to put it in. I put the straps in wrong. I get the straps twisted. Wendy wanted to put down a protective mat. Finally after who knows how long, it is in. After my installation she watches the video online and say, "It looks like you did it the hard way."

Today will be the test day. It appears to be tight.

I will never understand why baby equipment is so complicated.
