New Car Seats!

We bought Madison new car seats this week. She's just about to outgrow her infant carrier! We knew what brand we wanted, Britax, and that they are expensive. We found them online for 15% off and free shipping, and we thought that was a deal. They usually don't go on sale. Plus, we didn't have to pay tax!! We got the Boulevard for the Commander, and we got the Marathon for the Escape. The Marathon got here on Thursday, but the Boulevard didn't get here until yesterday. We decided after Madison went to sleep last night to try and install the Boulevard. Well, we must have been making it a lot harder than it was. It took forever, and then I didn't think it was very secure. In the end, we gave up and came inside to look up when they were doing car seat checks around Tulsa. As luck would have it, they were doing on today at Babies R Us. So, we decided to go to the Britax website to see if they had other instructions. Well, they had some videos that were really helpful. Jeff got up this morning and installed mine before he took it to get checked. They told him it was perfect!! So, that was good. He still needs to install his.

For some unknown reason, he wanted this pattern called "cowmooflage." It's basically a camouflage that looks like a cow! It's rather hideous!! AND, I think it really looks like a Dalmatian, not a cow! Jeff thinks it's just the coolest thing ever. I hope he realizes that we are going to be stuck with this for a long, long time!!! Here's Madison trying it out...

Mine is a subtle black/gray with a tiny swirl on it. It's much, much more conservative!! I think it looks more "timeless." AND, no one will be making fun of me!! Here's Miss Madison trying it out...

It's going to be different to actually have to figure out how to take her into stores instead of just leaving her in her infant seat. I'm sure we will adjust just fine. It's just going to be different. Oh, my big, big girl!!!
