h_postmortemus decrated sylvia's new car seat yesterday. after an evening of diligent manual studying, he went to install the new seat. out comes the old seat and in goes the new. or so we thought. h_postmortemus gave the seat a good tug as a final test and was able to twist it almost upside down. so now he's off to wal-mart in hopes they will have the legendary tightening device. meanwhile, there is no way that sylvia can be safely transported.

tried latch?
do you ahve that in your car? The latch thing?

That's the best, safest, sturdiest way to attach a car seat. If the carseat doesn't have it, you can buy a retrofit kit.....

we have latch in the car, but the carseats arent' new enough for it. maybe when jake needs his next size up, since Ray will be outgrowing his RSN.

And there are these metal H thingies I use to adjust the straps - all out carseats came with one, and now I've got extras (as we upgraded from infant to toddler to booster seats). not that i can find all of them, mind you....
