There are a lot of things to learn when you become a first-time parent.
From nursing to getting them to sleep, it’s all one big learning curve.
And it’s not just baby we have a hard time getting used to, it’s the equipment that comes along with them.
Yes, the world of car seat installation can be a pain in the backside but it’s always nice to know we’re not alone in our struggles.
