Car Seat

Well the time has come, Kat is rapidly outgrowing the infant seat that came in the Travel System we bought before she was born. It's time for a big girl carseat! This has been the cause of a good deal of stress and research for me. It was clear from looking at Safety Ratings that Britax carseats are far and away the best on the market. They also go up to 65lbs (most carseats go to 50-55lbs) which means it'll be that much longer until we had to buy a booster or another car seat.

Unfortunately Britax carseats are also about 300.00, which was waaaay out of our budget. I had managed to find one for 179.99 but that still seemed beyond our budget. We were likely just going to pick up a cheapie car seat... Luckily just then, the Grandma fairy came and helped us out :) So I got lucky enough to snag the 179.99 Britax Marathon at Albee Baby (which consequently is a GREAT deal, if you're looking for a carseat, head on over)

So here is Kat's new carseat being shipped to us now- YAY!!!!:
