Car $eat$
The time has come to purchase a new car seat. I wanted to cry. The infant one we had was only up to 22 pounds. After spending hours, okay days, researching them online, one thing I noticed was the price among all other safety specs. Those convertible car seats can get pretty pricey! I saw a few around the $350 range (ouch!) Surely you can find a great safe one for less…. right??? After reading reviews, we finally decided on the Cosco Alpha Omega Elite, which was originally about $160 at BrU on sale for $119. And how great, this one goes from rear facing, to forward facing, to a booster seat up to 100 pounds. That in itself seemed like a good deal. Even better when the cashier, bless her heart, pulled out a 15% off coupon for us to use. The remaining balance was helped out with my grandfather’s gift then pleasantly surprised when my mother in law paid the rest. She is the best!
She stayed with us for about 4 days, left today, and is always welcomed here at any time. I am happy to say that I am a fan of my in-laws, haha. I hear A LOT of stories about how some families just don’t get along and its sad to hear, but I am very lucky. I am always glad when Shaughn gets visits from his family who are spread throughout the country and he seems to like it too. Shaughn is getting more and more vocalized and realizing how high in pitch his voice will go. He will just go on and on babbling, like he is telling you about his day or what he dreamt about during nap time. I sit there and agree with him and encourage to tell me more, and boy does he. One day those will be full words and sentences, and though it will be great when that day comes, I know I will cry because it will be another milestone showing just how fast my little man is growing.

Yes Shanta, it fits very well. We have a Mazda Tribute and love it. He seems very comfortable in it, especially for his naps. Definitely keep an eye out for those BrU coupons, any bit helps! Good luck in your car seat venture!
