Carseat Inflicted Injuries

FacebooktwittermailFacebooktwittermail

first aidWe all know that car seats help prevent injuries in kids. Anyone who has installed a few also knows they tend to cause injuries in the adults who are installing them. Broken nails, scraped knuckles, smashed toes, bruised shins: I’ve had them all, and then some. Today was a first, though.

I was carrying a boxed car seat through the house and needed to hoist it up to clear a kitchen chair and a serving cart. Somehow I lost my grip and the box slipped out of my hands. Luckily it only fell an inch or two onto the chair and cart I was trying to avoid, but when my hands slipped off, they also flew up…into my face. One of my finger nails jabbed my nose, leaving an unsightly and rather painful gouge.
