Baby Pools and Car Seats

We finally had a nice, sunny, warm day. They seem to be few and far between this summer. I decided to sneak out of work early today. Well, not sneak as much as just walk out the front door, I was the only one left at work. Everyone else had already gone home early.


I took Elliot out to use his baby pool for the first time. (Crappy summer.) He loved splashing around...I think I might have a water baby. Elvis joined him for a bit also.


Then I headed off to our local car seat check to get my install of his convertible checked. I got rave reviews and was told they couldn't have done it better. They couldn't move that seat at all and boy did they try. Thanks BBC Car Seat Board ladies. I learned so much from all of you!


A couple of pics from today.

New Car Seat

I can't believe how excited I am over a car seat. I purchased a Britax Roundabout 50 because I have space issues in my Suzuki SX4 Crossover. The Britaxes allow for the front seat, not only to touch, but to brace the seat. Unfortunately, I don't live near any stores that allow you to take a seat out of the store to test. So, I purchased one in hopes that it would fit or I would send it back and try another. Well, it fit perfectly. I got such a great install testing it that I decided to not put the bucket back in. It is so soft, I almost want one for myself :)

I think Elliot likes the seat too.
