En el carro (In the car)

I spend a lot of time trying to get my son into his car seat.  Here are some phrases I will start practicing.

Get into the car: entra al carro; metete
Get into your car seat: sientate en tu siento (or I just pat the car seat and say, "Sientate")
Scoot back in the car seat: sientate bien; hazte para atrás
Put your arms through the straps: mete los brazos
Buckle your seat belt: amarrate; abrochate el cinturón
Get out of your car seat: salte (get out); bajate de tu asiento (come down from your seat)
Get out of the car: sal del carro (get out of the car); ya puedes bajarte (you can get down now)
Hurry up/do it quickly: apurate; hazlo rápido
