The car seat is a battleground well-trodden by all parents alike. Moms and dads everywhere have braced themselves for the arduous task that is picking up the car seat. If you don’t believe that, imagine this scenario: the crook of your arm getting pinched by the sturdy plastic handle and the body of the contraption digging into your hips all while trying to gently carry the full weight of the car seat and the precious baby cargo within.

Then you get to the car, and the whole thing becomes a balancing act of not dropping the car seat and delicately trying not to slam the car seat into your car but the baby is a little uncomfortable and you look down and she’s doing the cry face and you’re desperately trying to open the car door and all at once you’re in the eye of the perfect storm.
