I suck at strapping LO in

in November 2012 Moms
We got a NextFit. It is really difficult to strap my LO into this seat. I'm annoyed and it stresses me because it always makes her cry and protest. Why can't they have a mechanism that holds the straps out of the way while getting the baby in the seat? I'm sure they would get sued because some dummy would forget to buckle their kid in. But seriously. It's hard to get her in there! Maybe I'm just moronic.

    We have a nextfit it took me a while to get used to the straps and the set is very deep. The shoulder pads are really big and bulky. 

    Which part is giving you a hard time?

    Something like this? It's actually one of the few "safe" after market things to use on your seat. 


    I just saw these the other day.
    I was about to suggest them.
    FWIW, we had issues with the infant carrier straps when DS was really little.
    No issues with our convertible seat though.

    I don't have the nextfit, but I have a britax boulevard and at first it was really hard to get her in. I ended up taking the padding off the straps because it was just too much.  DD is tiny and all that stuff just bulked up. 

    Its gotten easier though.  DD still resists at times, and gets upset when I go digging for the straps, but she usually settles right away.

    Hang in there... hopefully it will get better.

    @viking15 My Britax Roundabout seat has Velcro squares on the lap part of belt and on the actual seat. When I take straps off they hit the Velcro and hold in place so the next time I go to put him in the car they are already held out of the way. Perhaps a couple of Velcro squares would do the trick?
