New Car Seat

With such a long trip coming up Tiffany and I have become increasingly more aware that Kylie was rapidly out growing her old car seat, which was part of a transportation system in which the car seat came out and attached to her stroller. Seeing as she is now big enough to sit in her stroller without need of the car seat, and as I stated, was rapidly approaching the size limit of her current car seat, and we wanted to make sure she was not only safe but comfortable, today we purchased her a new car seat; The Alpha Omega Elite.

This is actually a 3-in-1 car seat that features a rear facing car seat (which she is still in until she reaches 1 year old and 25 pounds), a front facing car seat, and a booster seat, so essentially this should be the last car seat that we need to buy for her. Of course this also means that should she need to ride in my truck we have to plan well enough ahead so that Tiffany can leave the seat with me so I can place it in my truck (I had a base in my truck for the old car seat to attach to, but the new one doesn’t get taken out like the old one).

It was kind of expensive, but that is to be expected. At least this will last us until she is ready to sit in the car without a booster seat. So like I said it should be the last car seat we need to buy for her. Now we just need to put it in and we will be all set. I am looking forward to using it on our upcoming trip and hope that Kylie enjoys it and that she is more comfortable in it.

I would also like to take a moment to thank my brother Chris and his wife Tracey, who offered to front us the money to purchase the new car seat if needed; though we did not need to take them up on the offer, the fact that they did offer, both to help us and to help make sure that their niece was safely taken care of, means a lot to us. Thanks you guys.
