I DID IT!!

Made the long avoided car seat switch. Taylor now has Ana's comfy womfy Britax and Ana has the fully loaded, but beastly, Eddie Bauer one (complete with cup holder and arm rests!).

This day was coming soon, and would have months ago if not for Graco's newest oversized line that we joked about upon buying ("who ON EARTH would have an infant THAT big in a bucket seat"....WE DO!!!).

But for months now I haven't even been taking Taylor out. I mean come on now, the girl hit 20 pounds 2 months ago (who KNOWS what she weighs now).... as you may recall she is the size of an 18-24 mo old! WAY TO HEAVY to lug around. Plus, she will only sleep in HER CRIB (such a particular little thing she is) so it's not like I need the convenience of taking it in & out for sleeping purposes. Therefore, during afternoon naps today, I said, "what the heck" and away I went to make the 'ol switch. Personally I think Ana will be alot more comfortable. This thing even has pillows.

This time around I decided to try out that handy dandy LATCH system that all cars and seats are equipped with. Truly I never bothered b.c it's so easy w.o it. HOWEVER, let me tell you- that's a breeze and gets the car seat snug as a bug. LOVE IT! (my paronoid self also used the "old" seatbelt method, so now they're double safe...lovely.)

I am tempted to this this as well. I just don't want to accept the fact that Matthew is growing up. However, you gave me a good idea. Get Sam a new toddler like car seat and give Matthew the Britax...poor second children never get anything new !
