{Braeden's New Car Seat}

Braeden got a new car seat a couple of weeks ago, he LOVES it. Thank God, because I thought I was going to pull my hair out from the whole ordeal.

It started off by visiting our local Target. I took a few pictures on ones I was interested in and came home to ask Ryan when I could purchase one. To my amazement, he was ready for me to buy one ASAP. SO, at 5:00 PM that evening, I went back to Target and picked on up. Here are some pictures we took from the huge box it came in.







25 minutes later ... I decided this was NOT the car seat for us. It was not a five-star harness, and it didn't have any way to latch onto the car ... it just kind of sat there ... I was not about to put Braeden in that. So, Ryan and I jumped in the car and went to Target to return the seat. I didn't find anything else in there, so we headed to Kmart, I found a great seat there that I liked. We brought it home, put it in the car ... and HATED IT. It was awful. The handles were falling off, I just felt it was cheaply made. And let me tell you ... these car seats were name brands and cost a pretty penny. So frustrated, I decided to keep it in the car until the next day, when I would go to walmart.

Finally, the next day I returned the second car seat to Kmart and headed to Walmart. Right off the bat I found the perfect car seat. It's a SaftyOne which I am not too familiar with but it was sturdy, built right, five-star harness, and hooked into our car. I loved it. ONE problem ... they were out of them .... OMG, I thought I was going to die. After driving 45 miles out of the way, I FINALLY was able to snag one, and guess what? I LOVE it. I strongly encourage every parent to do a lot of research before finding the perfect car seat. Otherwise, you will be running around with your head cut off like I was!
