					<description><![CDATA[Yeah...it can be confusing. I&#039;m pretty confident in our infant seat install even though we haven&#039;t had it checked out, but I read lots of car seat safety forums from time to time and I read this instruction manual 3x before fiddling with it.

When Vivienne was born, my friend came to take Johnny to her house and she took his car seat in case they went anywhere. So when it was time for J to come home that day, we had to install the car seat in our car once more. Shane was exhausted and really had no idea what he was doing and it was dark out, and so her husband installed it.

A few days later when I was in the car wtih them, I took one look and realized it was ALL WRONG. They had installed it forward-facing (which was fine) but for our seat, you have to flip a lever and re-route the LATCH location. Neither of those things happened. Plus, a strap was twisted.

I was grateful that nothing happened while he was riding around in a seat that was like that.

As soon as we got home, I sent Shane out to reinstall it the right way after telling him what to do and having him read the instructions for himself. Then I went out to check it. I would have done the whole thing myself, except I had a baby just days ago and didn&#039;t think I could hack it.

So moral of my story -- don&#039;t let anyone install it for you unless they are a car seat tech, and even then, check their install!

BECAUSE ANOTHER STORY: I took J&#039;s seat to the car seat tech whatever before he was born, and he used the latch anchors and put it in the middle. INCORRECT. We were driving around like that for like a year before I realized that he had to be outboard with LATCH or use the seatbelt in the center. So even experts can be wrong at times.

They really need to make it a lot easier, since so many installations are wrong.]]></description>
