  • While I come to terms with my daughter's arrival in a few weeks, the race is on to finish all that needs to be done to prepare for her arrival. Her grandmother bought us the Baby Trend Expedition Premiere Jogger Travel System from Babies R Us. In this dad vlog I install the car seat using the Flex-Loc system in the backseat of my 2013 Kia Soul.

    Thank you, it is 8:31 PM. April 22, 2021. My brother, and I tried. Long story short we ended up youtubing how to do this. When you got to the part where you said you didn't know how we just silently looked at each other like "what now?"
    You saved the day. Our daughter is arriving via C-Section. Headed to the hospital now. She will be here at 7:00AM. If anyone wants to welcome her to this world. Feel free to leave comments. Thank you again.

    helping my wife give birth was easier than installing this. . set it to max height setting on the grey adjustable section, jam your knee in the fing thing on top of that grey section (there's a groove for your knee) putting all your weight on it and pull on the strap with all your might, no holding back.

    “If you were pulling out you wouldn’t be in this situation” 😂🙌🏽
    Similarly I had never thought about having kids, I actually had very different plans for my life but shit happens and here we are. I’m preggo and due in 3 weeks. We have the same car seat and the instructions were so ambiguous I thought I must be stupid because I couldn’t figure it out. Also it’s 30 degrees here at the warmest part of the day so my fiancé and I were outside shivering trying to read the instructions and that didn’t help.
    So hey, thank you so much for sharing this 💜

Almost immediately you pointed out what should have been the obvious and bam! Base successfully installed! From one first time dad to another, you were a lifesaver. Thank you

    Please for the love of all things-WORK WITH A CPST (Child Passenger Safety Technician) to learn about your car seat! This is the best video example ever of why I do what I do. Parents aren’t stupid. Parents aren’t careless. Car seats are complex, not straightforward, and literally require training to get them in safely. Hire a CPST!

  • @umfpt
    @umfpt Před 6 lety +4

    Hey Matt you missed out one step. You need to put the car seat in base first to check if the base is at the right level. The car seat will have a spirit level guide on the side, well most do anyway.

    • @schill3833
      @schill3833 Před 3 lety +1

      The front moves to make sure if you get hit hard the car seat gives so the seat absorbs the impact instead of the impact going to the child. We had a car pull in front of us at 45 mph an we couldn’t stop it destroyed the car an me an my wife were in bad shape an I was in the back seat with my son, an my son had little burns from the seat belt that was it. It needs to be able to move at the front always remember that an if u latched the car seat in to the booster correctly then that baby isn’t going anywhere. An also please make sure your straight are in the right position on your child cause it can break their ribs if you have them to low an it also can throw them out if you have them place d wrong
