We finally bought a car seat!

We now own the Britax Roundabout 50 in Pistachio (beautiful tan color with light green dots). I’ve been eyeing it for sometime, but last week I saw it was on sale at Amazon! The seat is like the original Roundabout except for being more adjustable in the seat, and giving Clara 10 lbs and 10 inches more to grow before needing to upgrade to a booster. It could have comfortably held her since birth, since it starts a 5 lbs, but we appreciated our Graco SafeSeat for it’s comfort and convenience many times. We haven’t tried this one out yet in a car, but I think it is going to be a winner.

We are seriously considering buying a second car seat for the other car. We drive both regularly (we aren’t a mini-van family quite yet, my car is more roomy, his gets better gas mileage), and this seat will be difficult to move back and forth. Anyone think we should go for the “Cowmooflage” version? I think it would look terrific against the Saturn’s black interior. :)

Win a Car Seat

Here I go again! Trying so hard to win a car seat. We REALLY need one--actually two, which makes things worse. I am just so scared to take the plunge. I guess I am probably WAY over thinking things, but we can't go much longer. Clara is almost at the height limit for our car seat.

So, for the next few hours, head on over to My Wee View to enter this great giveaway to win one of these:

Clara is going to outgrow her car seat within the next few months, and we are going to need something bigger that will still live up to my safety standards. I love the safety features of the Safety 1st Complete Air Car Seat as shared by The Shopping Mama. Right now on her blog (through November 16) you can enter to win a car seat of your own.
