    Does this monitor support 2 cameras and split screen if we purchased a second camera for it?

    Yes it does! I know Bonoch also sells a 2-camera package for this model if you haven't purchased yet and want to just get everything together! Hope this helps!

    @DadNamedMac5 күн бұрын

    Hi! I think you’re asking if the car seat seems to be loose or move around? In our experience, it has not! We switched to this one from an Evenflo that would never seem to be secured. The Graco has been so much better for us. Hope this helps!

    Personally did not like this seat. It has amazing features and ease of use but the cup holders broke off during flight travel 😞 also getting my kids out of the car seat , their ankle gets caught in that groove /nook where the cup holder meets the back of the seat. Then their shoe falls off and it’s just frustrating. Might be because I’m short and my toddlers are half my size, but I can’t get them out without their ankles getting stuck

  • @DadNamedMac
    @DadNamedMac2 ай бұрын

    Thanks for watching and for the feedback! We haven’t had to fly with the seat but understand the groove issue! Wasn’t an issue for us until our daughter decided she wanted to climb into the seat on her own! We still love this seat but certainly worth researching and shopping around for whichever works best for your needs!

    Video Editing is too low 👎👎👎👎 Edit the video in a good style. Add nice b-roll animation when you are speaking or explaining something. This will increase visualization. Put proper subtitles, effects, transitions, and colors in the video. Insert the B-Roll (footage and animation) very well because it is absolutely low in your video. Do all this and then see how the video doesn't turn out good. 🍠
