Great Car Seat Link

Today's adventure was dealing with our car seat. The other day while driving around town for a couple hours Alex got very tired of being in his infant car seat (we have the Baby Trend). When we would pull over and take him out he would be happy, but the minute we but him back in he was distraught again. He finally fell asleep, but that got me thinking that we should install the Combi Cocorro convertible car seat we had in the basement to see if it was more comfortable for him.

Jeremy being the good husband and father that he is decided to try it out. While trying to figure out how to get the top of the seat not to jiggle around he found a link to Car Seat Lady. I highly recommend that if you are looking for a car seat, looking on info on how to install a car seat or tips on car seats that you check it out. It also covers the steps and thought process behind the new regulations/recommendations.

To be clear Luisa is the expert in this family on car seats so she will share her experience another time, but just wanted to share this link for those families who are currently dealing with the challenge.

Good luck,

PS Some of you may be wondering why we have two different kinds of car seats. We first purchased the Cocorro because we wanted a convertible style seat (which basically means it will convert from rear facing to front facing) that was compact enough to fit in the Subaru WRX. At the time we weren't sure if we were going to buy a new car, which we eventually did...but anyway. Then we saw the  Baby Trend Infant Carrier seat at target for $100 and figured for that price we would give it a try. We liked it and found it very convenient but since Alex was in the hospital for the first 2 months of his life we didn't get as much use out of it. It seems that he is somewhat growing out of it. He technically fits in it but I'm starting to doubt if he is comfortable in it. Therefore we are going to try the Cocorro for a few days. Here is a pic of the two seats:
