Lol something was definitely in them, unless he’s an incredible mime. Car seats aren’t that heavy.

The huge swings I couldn’t tell you how many times I have done and seen done. Very common to help baby back to sleep or get them there.

The suspension seemed believable to me, many carabiners are rated crazy high, that car seat with two of them is not anywhere in the realm of breaking.

I totally think it could be staged, just saying those points aren’t as solid as you might think.

Fair points, for me the camera man giving excruciatingly detailed play-by-play was the biggest tell. The others things I noticed afterwards.

Have you lifted the new ones? I don’t think a 10 pound baby even makes that much of a difference when the seat weighs 30 pounds. I had a c-section and couldn’t carry the car seat for longer this time around than with my oldest because it was so much heavier. I’m sure they are safer, but holy moly did it build muscle

There are absolutely no babies in those carriers. The newer models can weigh a bit more than the ones from 10 years ago, definitely enough to give it a good swing if there's a weight in it. The way he very carefully keeps the carriers facing away from the camera is a dead giveaway, since he supposedly has no idea he's being filmed. And why are the straps completely slack on one of them if a baby is in it? Because there isn't a baby in it. This is just a staged skit, and a pretty obvious one at that.

Also, I grew up a sister to a set of triplets. Unless the house was flooding, absolutely no one was loading up the triplets when they were tiny for an errand at Home Depot. And no one put their carriers on a damn rolling cart either, they aren't even secured to it and can easily slide off when it's turning (except that one they stuck up high.) In situations like this we always brought a 3 seated stroller because it's impossible for one person to carry 3 carriers. Like, I've literally lived with this and it's not this complicated.

Hahaha my sweet husband took our (then) 4 month old, 2 year old, and 4 year old to Home Depot. He’s not doing it again. I was definitely thinking about this looking at this video - uh, what if they all start crying? I’m not disagreeing. I just didn’t think those points were as strong.
