I went a head and ordered my sweet girls new booster/carseat. It's the pink Britax Frontier. She is at 40 in and 38 lbs...so she needs to upgrade. Her carseat has been acting up lately for some reason. I figure now is a good time to upgrade before we head to Albuequerque. Hopefully I will not get into too much trouble the husband.
Here's the link:
My son already has it in black and grey. he wanted red, but at the time they were backordered...and he was at 42 in and 37 lbs. We HAD to make the change. He just grew too quickly. I called around and found a Right Start store in Houston that had 1 in stock and the shipped it that afternoon. Then my sweet friend helped me install it, b/c I had never messed with a Britax before and I couldn't figure it out.
Atleast that will be the end of ordering carseats...atleast for these 2.
Funny story...when I went to Minneapolis St Paul to see my brother last month I could not travel with 2 children alone, luggage and carseats. It crossed my mind, but it would be VERY difficult. So, I rented a car with carseats...only I had to get just boosters. Neither of my children have ridden in a real booster....so they were both freaking out. Telling me to drive carefully. They didn't feel safe without being tethered, latched and harnessed. It was pretty funny.
You can call me paranoid, crazy whatever...but there is NO WAY I am going to take a risk by putting my child in a booster that has no tether, no latch and no 5 pt harness. They are small and relying on a seat belt alone is not enough protection. I know people like my sister would say well you have to trust God. Yes, but do we also skip medicine just b/c God CAN save a life? NO! We use what resources for protection and safety that are availiable. It doesn;t mean I have less faith. It means I use wisdom. It is not wise to put a small child in a car without proper restraints. I do understand some people have cars that are not latch equipped...I understand that. I also have side airbags...yet another reason we traded our SUV.
