going back like cadillac seats

 I decided to invest in the best car seats I could find.  We went from the Graco Snugride and Cosco Alpha Omega to Britax Marathon 70s.  I figure Mac can last the summer rear facing again, since it's safer, and Aubrey can last rear facing till she's 40 pounds (at like 8 years old), and these will be all the car seat the kids will ever need.  We went to the fire station for the install.

 The old set up left much to be desired. 
So, the age old question is how many fire fighters does it take to install a car seat?  Forget light bulbs, they told me light bulbs are a fire hazard, so they don't use them, let alone change them.  They got a good chuckle from that one too.

It was so cold that we got a tour while we waited.  This was because these were the first seats they had installed since their training.  Since they were fancy shmancy brand new seats, they read the HUGE instructions booklet.  It took 1 hour for the first install.  It took 5 minutes for the second one.  One of the guys made the remark that these were cadillac car seats, hence the title of this post.  Meaning, they are super-swanky.  It's true.  And apparently, way easier to install than regular ones... that is, once you realize they are idiot-proof.  There was sheepishness all around.

 

  

 They are amazing.   Oh, The car seats too.
