Car Seats!

Who thought looking for a car seat would be so difficult! Luckily the infant car seat that we have was given to us when we had Squishy Girl. We used that for her until she was a year and then we bought her a front facing one that will hopefully last until she doesn't have to be in a car seat/booster seat anymore. We are now using the infant car seat for Fat Man. However, Fat Man has grown quite big and is nearing the time when he will no longer be comfortable in that seat. He is already 20+ pounds and so long that his big little feet stick out almost an inch in the infant car seat. He is so big that Squishy Girl and Fat Man are wearing the same size diapers and clothes. They are almost two years apart!!

Fat Man is looking like a hot dog smashed into a bun in his infant car seat. I have been looking at convertible car seats since July and still have not settled on one. I need to do so fast because we can no longer adjust the infant seat for Fat Man.

I think I have finally narrowed it down to two seats. One is a little cheaper but I like the more expensive one better, of course.

The first one, the cheaper one, is the one that Zac wants to get because it is cheaper.

This is the Eddie Bauer Deluxe convertible car seat. This one costs $129.99. It will seat Fat Man rear facing until he turns a year, he already meets the weight requirement. It will fit the Fat Man front facing up to 80 lbs. It does all the cool things that I like but the dimensions are smaller.

The one that I really like and keep coming back to is the Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite Car Seat.

Now I don't think we would be getting it in this color, I wouldn't mind it but the cheaper ones that I have found don't come in this color. This seat will last Fat Man up to 100lbs. Also the dimensions on this seat are so much bigger and will for sure last the Fat Man until he doesn't need a car seat anymore. I found this seat for as low as $144.99 or something like that.

I think now it is just a matter of convincing the hubby to let me get this one :)
