Except this wasn't a Christmas present, but it felt like one. I've been telling Aaron for the past while, that we need to do something about the boys' carseats, because it was getting really difficult to put both of them in the car. The straps on both of their seats were really tight, and were pulled out all of the way. So I felt like I was shoving them in and squeezing them to death every time we went anywhere in the car. They hated it too, and both of them would cry (typical for Ivan, not typical for Lincoln) whenever we'd put them in their seats. The day finally came when Aaron and I started researching car seats, picked one out, ordered it online and had it shipped to my mom's house.
It wasn't supposed to come for two more days, but it came today!!! I was so excited!! We bought a bigger car seat for Lincoln and then we'll just move Ivan into the one Lincoln was in. The one we bought Lincoln is a Graco Nautilus. It will hold him in the 5 point harness until he's 65 pounds! His current one is only like 40, I think. Then, after he weighs too much for the 5 point harness, it converts. So we'll just take the harness out and use the car's seat belt. THEN...when he gets too big for that, the back comes off, and it's just a backless booster that you use with the car's seat belt, until he's 100 pounds. Sweet. Complete with adjustable headrest and cup holder. Done and done. We'll never have to buy another seat for Lincoln again.
We've only had it a few hours, and I already love not having to smash my boys into their seats. They love it too. Maybe for the first time in history we all got snapped into the car and no one cried. Yay. The important thing is that Lincoln likes it. He's way impressed with the cup holder. And as for Ivan...
he was very content with the box it came in.
