The end of a carseat era

January 24th, 2008 | No Comments

C’s big girl carseat is officially installed and ready to use. When I leave work in a few hours, I will be carrying her out in my arms instead of in her carseat - a new challenge.

Also, whereas her old carseat had her sitting on one side of the back seat because the carseat was way bigger than the small car, the new carseat fits in the middle; boy am I glad we didn’t opt for the more expensive carseat designed for small cars! But now the seat takes up most of the back of the car, *and* I will no longer be able to see her by turning my head. Nor will I be able to put her pacifier back in while driving.

One step forward, two steps back.

Outgrowing her baby bucket

January 24th, 2008 | 1 Comment

C has about outgrown her baby bucket carseat. Katie and I hope to have her completely switched over to the bigger baby carseat by the weekend. Really, we should’ve already switched her over, because her shoulders are a bit higher than the seatbelt, and that’s a no-no. I’m told her shoulders would break in a wreck!

Anyway, obviously this change means no longer carrying C around in her carseat. That fact had occurred to me, and I knew that things could get more difficult, but I just had a realization: when in the past I’ve left work with full hands, I will now have to take two trips, because I won’t be able to carry much with a baby in my arms.

Well, I guess if it’s time, it’s time. And I need to get the new carseats installed now.
