First Big Boy Carseat


This is what the TrueFit Convertible Carseat in Chocolate looks like with a hella cute baby wearing Halloween pajamas in it. We're not actually in the car, mind you, we're in Griffin's room at six in the morning pretending we're going somewhere but really we're not because it's too f%@#$!ng early and nothing's open and we should be sleeping only we're not. At least he was handsome and in a good mood. The GOGs (Grandmothers of Griffin- Barbara, Lynn and Cindy) gave it to us for his Birthday and we can't wait to install it once Jake finishes his PhD in car seat installation and passes his Boards. I think I'd rather perform open heart surgery in a closet, in the dark, than install a carseat. The directions are worse than IKEA and if you screw it up your baby is in horrible peril. (I am refraining from hyperbole here because the thought is entirely too awful.) Anyway, props to the GOGs and to Aunt Kimmie for suggesting the functional, yet attractive, carseat.

Now I have to run and see if my friend Jessica wins Survivor. Either way she made it to the final five and that requires some effort. Geaux Sugar!

Several comments here: Griffin is indeed the most adorable baby in Halloween jammies in a stationary carseat. SO GLAD my carseat recommendation was helpful!! Wish I could help in the field of installation but I rely on a lady certified in all of the 150,000 different latch systems at the Palm Harbor Fire Dept, which doesn't help you much. You can, however, go online to see if there are people certified in your area to help you install the thing. Also, I would like to let out a big GEAUX JESSICA although she was beat into the ground by that everyone, especially that bee-atch Corinne.

Thankfully you won't have to buy another car seat until he goes to college. It makes me feel really old to think about the fact that not only did I not ride in a car seat past the age of oh, maybe one, I don't think the family station wagon even had seat belts. I distinctly remember riding to elementary school in the way back of the wagon in the prone position. Ah, the good old days.
