Ed and I were very fortunate to get a hand-me-down stroller from one of my good friends Kristin. It is very nice and we were excited about it, so Ed decided he would pull it out and show some of our family members on Thanksgiving. As he was showing it off, he realized that he didn't know how to clip the car seat onto the stroller. It became quite an ordeal as the men in my family all attempted to help figure this out with him. This was quite a funny scene for us women to watch! My grandfather drinking his coffee and yelling out orders while my dad and brother-in-law attempted to fool with the various buttons and parts on the stroller. All the while, Ed was standing in utter confusion wondering how the heck he was going to manage this contraption someday soon. The look on his face said it all: "Taking care of a baby will be a breeze compared to figuring out this thing, let alone all the other baby gear I'm going to have to learn to put together and take apart!"
Needless to say, I eventually walked over and ended the confusion by lifting off the cup holder in the front of the stroller. They all said at once, "Ohhhh!" It was an A-ha moment for us all as we recognized the place that the car seat was supposed to clip on to. The car seat was in place and all was good again in the world!

LOL, who would have ever thought a stroller would be the center of a Thanksgiving get together!
Ps. I have the car seat manual, so hopefully there will be less confusion of figuring out how to adjust the straps as the baby grows.
