- how to install them properly
- how important it is to install them properly
- what you should think about while installing them
- what the police are likely to say to you after pulling you over and inspecting your carseat, noticing that of course, it is not installed correctly
- the fact that you should feel immense shame for not understanding the ease with which it is to install a carseat
- the various locking mechanisms for a securely installed carseat
- the shape, physical dimensions and aerodynamic capabilities of various carseats
- why carseats are the most important thing on earth
- how the carseat prevents you from going immediately to hell, do not collect $200
After having a few kids (4) and now remembering the pre-natal classes that I did manage to attend it seems like the classes are designed to present 75% information that is common sense that you would know without them and 25% information to make you feel like an awful parent once you have the kid.
