Car Seats Posted: 03-30-04 04:43am
Ok I finally got my car back today from
the shop. Now steve and I each have our
own car. We bought jayden a new car seat
for his car, it is the kind with the arm
rest that comes down over their head. I
am going to go out and buy a new one for
my car tonite. I wanted to see what you
girls like better, the 5 point harness or
ones with the arm rest? I am not too
sure which one I will like better.

I'm not to thrilled with the arm rest
ones. They could be uncomfortable at
times. My son is a beast for his age and
won't even fit into one even if I liked
it.

Yeah I think I am going to get the 5 point
harness one. I mean then we will have
one of each also. Besides the 5 point is
on sale at shopko!!!
My niece had the harness one. I like the
idea of the safety the pull over one, but
it's not very efficent and it's time
consuming....Lol. I'm lazy and both work
well!

Well I went out and bought a 5 point
harness one. It is called the
"cosco touriva" I like it alot!
And it is sooooooo much easier to get her
in than the other one we spent 140 dollars
one! I cannot believe I
ever spent that much on a car seat, I
loved it now I hate it. The one I
got today was on sale for 39 bucks and I
love it! Jayden seems to be
enjoying it also.

this is the 140 dollar seat we got her,
its the alpha omega. The only thing
I like about it now is that it goes up to
100 lbs. It is black not blue, it
looks blue in this pic.
Now this is the one I just got her today
it is much cheaper and I like it way
better. It was only 39 bucks!

Ah I dont even kno what carseat to get but
I better start thinkin about that! 140?
I didnt know they were quite that
expensive I hope I find a good cheaper
one too. I spent sooo much on baby stuff
over the weekend tho, a bassinet, swing,
toys, clothes...Babys sure are money, if I
didnt work full time I dont know how I
would do it! But at least I have tips on
the carseat~how olds ur daughter again?

I just read ur post and love hearing all
things ppl are buying for babies it
reminds me that I get to do that some day,
I also read how u guys said u paid 140 for
a car seat. Thats us dollars for aussie
dollars u can double that and thats how
much they are here, altho the one I have
picked out faces forward and then when u
stop and u are taking the baby out instead
of lifting the baby over the carseat, it
turns around so u just lift them out of
the car if that makes sense.

jellybean all of their own

She will be 8 months on the 7th. The
weight limit for the carry infant car
seats is 20lbs. At her last apt she was
16lbs. So I am sure she is just about
20. Besides she is sooooo heavy to carry
in that car seat. 140 is way expensive
for a car seat. Most range from 40-70
dollars. The one we got was 140 because
it goes from birth to 100lbs. Most car
seats only go up to 40 and then you need
to get another one. But i'd rather buy
another car seat at a later time. They
get so nasty and fadded from the sun by
the time you would need a new one anyways.
I was stupid and jumped at the first car
seat I saw and liked. But I am really
enjoying the one I got tonite.

Sean has one with a front harness, they
arent that hard to get babies in and out
of and I just feel most secure with it
because then I feel like he is secure all
the way around. I love it!! Ours is a
graco comfortsport!! And this picture
matches it perfectly!! Except ours has a
couple crumbs
