Who's idea was this, anyway?

We bought Daniel's current car seat about 4 years ago. I have a confession: I’ve only washed the seat cover twice. Once between kids and again a couple days ago, after Daniel vomited on it 5 times during our road trip. Yesterday evening I tried to reassemble the car seat, and the experience reminded me why I’ve only washed it twice. That thing is so daggum hard to get on and off! While spending an hour trying to rethread the straps and elastics into a very hard-to-reach crevice with a flashlight, wire hanger and tweezers, I drew several conclusions about the brilliant designer of said seat:

1. This designer did not personally assemble the prototype to know how hard it is to get the cover on and off.
2. This designer was a man, who never considered washing the cover.
3. This man has no children.
4. If this man had children, they never vomited, had blowouts, or spilled milkshakes on the car seat.
5. If this man’s kids ever did the above mentioned things in the carseat—or anything similarly wet, foul, and/or sticky—he never bothered to take it off and wash it.
6. If he did bother to take it off and wash it, he ignored the washing directions and threw it in the dryer instead of letting it line dry—which, by the way, takes a good 36 hours.

At the conclusion of my think session, I had just one more question:

Where's his wife in all this?!
