And the award for the worst parents goes to…
A few weeks ago Mark installed our car seat. Knowing that more than 80% of the child seats are used incorrectly, we decided to visit the “Sit Safe Child Passenger Safety Program” offered by the Durham Regional Police to ensure that our car seat is correctly installed.
It turns out that Mark successfully installed the car seat, but we failed to recognize that loose ice scrapers left on the floor in the back of the car can quickly become lethal weapons in the event of a crash (they also suggested the pile of Tim Horton coffee cups should probably be cleared out as well…apparently our garbage under a high impact crash will also turn into a fatal daggers and destroy anything in its path! Those coffee cups really should come with a parental warning sign).
So there you have it! The Worst Parent Award goes to us, and we haven’t even officially crossed the line over to parenthood yet!
OYE! We’re doomed!

I would say that having the car seat installed and checked out by professionals before the baby even gets here is pretty darn good parenting.
You win the " Blantie Cuppa Good Parenting Award" for being so well prepared.
I will be away this weekend, but will check your blog each day on my sister's computer just to keep up on your news.
When I heard of the possible TTC strike I thought about you and was so glad that you don't have to face that headache right now. Even Puzzle Lady's kind offer of a seat
wouldn't make travel next week any fun at all.
Put your feet up and enjoy being at home and far far away from the Go Trains and subways next week.
Take care.
Good work Mark on successfully installing the car seat. Well on your way to becoming *fantastic* parents.
Ummm, if you honestly tried to cover every single base and make everything that could possibly ever hurt your child safe, you would live in a barren home with padded walls and floors, and nothing else. The likelyhood of your cups becoming weapons of destruction are about 1 in ten million, and I'm going high there! If that's the case, then you definitely don't win, I do. In my car there is just enough room for TJ's carseat amidst the junk. Unfortunately, most of the junk is his toys, which must be kept to entertain him if I want to drive for more than ten minutes. They could also become lethal weapons...if I was in a twenty car pileup, at the bottom, after flipping the car twelve times through a river full of rocks...Anyway, you get it. Don't freak out. I, too, am super proud of you for going for the carseat check, and getting it right. We thought about it, but when the time came, I forgot all about it! Fortunately, I have an innate sense for reading and understanding directions, and the seat is fine. What gets me is what everyone else is doing wrong?
Uh oh. We're screwed. If you're a bad parent, I'm the dirt on the bottom of the bad parents' shoe.
