Britax Advocate Car Seat

So we have been researching the best car seats for our growing son (he's gained 2 lbs in 2 wks and 6 new teeth) he's been a busy little man in his 6 month growth spurt. Thankfully our current car seat is good for up to 32 lbs but he will outgrow it in length before weight. He is over 27" tall now and is still growing...all his 6 mth sleepers are on their way out, say hello to 12 month sleepers. :)

Well on to the car seat research, we found the Britax Advance has everything we are looking for:

• True Side Impact Protection
• Rear and forward facing
• lots of cushioning for baby
• a great 5 point harness system that requires no re-threading when they grow, a front harness adjuster, harness holders to keep those annoying straps out of the way when putting your child into the seat, and keeps your childs head safe from moving around too much in an accident
• small base so it fits into our vehicle

Well that is just some of the wonderful things this car seat has, we have been looking for it to go on sale but no go anywhere yet. Baby's R Us says they never go on sale so we are waiting for the Bay to have a sale so we can use our HBC points towards it (I've been saving for something big and have over $100 in points) woowoo.

So this is our first choice in car seats so if you see them anywhere in your travels on sale let me know lol.

Car Seat Mania!!

Wow who knew how hard it would be to choose a car seat! We have been having a tough time choosing one from all the great ones out there. We are thinking of getting a 3 in 1 since our little guy isn't quite out of his old one yet but will be in about 2 inches and 5 lbs. :)

I've been soliciting advice from all parents and so far the consenses is the following:

• Britax
• Radian
• Graco My Ride 65
• EvenFlow
• Eddie Bauer

We are still deciding and i'm not done my research but I thought i'd document our journey into the next step of car seat shopping. :)

I'll post an update once we choose the seat.

Car Seats ugh

So our little guy is now officially 6 months old and is growing like crazy...we need to find a new car seat soon for him. I've been looking and researching the best ones but wow they are expensive, i've been waiting for the fancy Britax ones at the Bay go on sale...I can then use my HBC points for more than $100 off it...but that doesn't mean much when the car seat is still $400 before tax. Sooo i'll keep looking for sales and hope a good one comes up.



Kaelan is now 27 inches long and weighs 20.6 lbs, he fits in 12 mth sleepers and even has his 4 front teeth in now...there is one slowly making its way down but it will be here any day.

I can say that I can't wait for this teething thing to be over with, he will sleep much better and be back to his regular non-cranky self. And all the puking! No one told me they would puke so much when they teethe...ugh, i'm sure I change my top 3-4 times a day, thankfully we have a lot of recieving blankets and bibs to catch the extra puke.



Well i'm off to make supper while he blissfully sleeps for a nap...poor guy, wish the teething didn't bother him so much.
