@MamaMoose: @zippylef: That's what I thought too! I totally understand wanting to leave him swaddled until he was safely in the car - he's outside for the first time, it's the day after he was born, and there's a crazy number of people out there! None of us know what they did once they were in the privacy of their vehicle.

I'm thinking they fixed the straps in the car, too. I saw the video clip where had the baby in their arms walking down the steps and talking to the press. I'm thinking they placed the swaddled baby in the seat, carried him in, and then fixed it in the car. No need to unswaddle and put on the straps in front of all the press! I couldn't imagine!

I do wish people would just let them be. Yes, people look up to them, but I really doubt parents would refer back to that picture and think, "oh that's how you put a baby in a carseat". Carseats come with instruction manuals... and whether or not people follow the given instructions perfectly is on them.

I love Kate & William and I can't imagine the immense pressure they must feel. And it's understand that they probably just wanted to get out of there quickly. I guess she could have totally adjusted once in the car. But also the baby was all swaddled up so I don't know how she would have pulled that swaddle out b/c I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to strap your baby in a car seat wrapped in a blanket. Anyways, it was an innocent mistake and hopefully she adjusted it in the car.
