The car seat situation just highlights how much of a ridiculous purchase the lego truck was. Can't even see out the back because of the car seats.
I think the thing that pissess me off the most is that they got from completely ignorant to experts in a split second. They are a personified explanation of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Whether it be from rollerblades, car seat installation, or private school education no matter the topic they are extremely far out of their depth and just don't have a clue!
Absolutely this!!! Experts in absolutely everything, won’t take any constructive criticism because it would mean they weren’t 100% right about something.
It’s not normal to be like, “quick! Someone noticed that we’re irresponsible with car safety, let’s rush out and spend $2000 on new car seats”. Knox was 5ish when Teddy was born, they clearly had seats for all three at some point. What happened to those? Decided they didn’t fit in the Jeep and binned them? Teddy absolutely does not need a new seat, he will fit for a couple more years in his current seat.
For a normal person, a car seat is a necessary but major purchase. We’re comfortable, but for $500 (unless an emergency) we’d want to sync the purchase with our pay cycle and make sure we didn’t have any other major expenses that fortnight. We also wouldn’t go for four seats all at once, we’d work out whether we could get by with one or two and then purchase the others later. They definitely did not need four today, they were fine with zero! Why the urgency?! They spend money SO FAST.
