    For the parents-to-be out there... Learn how to work the carseat in every which way BEFORE the baby arrives.

    You don't want to be franticly dealing with it at night, in the hospital drop off zone, with a crying infant and a stressed out mom when both of you haven't slept in 2 days.

    We've got #2 coming any day now. Just gave myself a refresher course last night.
