Well we did it. We finally opened the boxes from our new car seats to discover a 'garden paradise'. The pattern isn't a bad as we feared and actually coordinates with our tan interior reasonably well. Brant installed all the new seats into the car today. Since these car seats are advertised to 'fit three across most cars' we assumed they would be spacious compared to our prior infant carriers (which BARELY fit in our Civic). Turns out the fit across is almost exactly the same - very tight. In fact, since the girls are rear facing, we actually had to move the front seats up even further to accommodate the taller seats. The important thing is that the seats fit!

We took this opportunity to eliminate binkies in the car. Now the only place the girls get binkies is in bed. Of course, I always have some on hand - just in case - but the girls don't need to know that. We also tried peanut butter and jelly for the first time. Everybody really enjoyed this new treat (and thankfully no peanut allergies!)
I am glad to see that they are out of their birth order and you are mixing things up. . . .
ReplyDelete:) well they were in reverse birth order previously (mainly in an attempt to correct head shape)
