Car Seat

We bought Adalyn a big girl car seat yesterday at Babies R Us. It was bitter sweet. We have had a lot of memories in her infant car seat. Maybe I get attached to "things" too easily but when you think about it, it's the seat that helped keep our baby safe while driving, it's the seat that would put her to sleep,(sometimes) it's the seat where she liked to look up at the bar and hit her frogs eyes and they would light up and sing back to her, and it's the seat that she LOVED climbing all over when we had it in the living room.

Just wanted to share these pictures!
1st time in the car seat



and what she looks like now in the car seat




She was just getting TOO heavy for that car seat. We ended up just taking her out of it where ever we went unless she was sleeping then I would carry that thing inside and it would just about wear me out. So, as sad as it is, the car seat and the 2 bases have been boxed up and stored in the attic.

She is loving it! It is still turned backwards only because I'm anal about safety for her. It suggests to face backwards until she is one AND 20 lbs. Well, she has the 20 lbs down, just not the age yet. I'm sure she would be just fine facing forward and who knows, when she's 11 months we might decide to flip her around but for right now, she's content and we are content with the decision. =) We bought 2 so we wouldn't have to fool with transferring it back and forth between our vehicles. It's a good thing we got 2 because when I pulled it out of the box it was HEAVY! You better believe I was not going to be changing that sucker out all the time. We had 2 bases for her infant car seat and that made things just so simple!
