Goodbye faithful infant bucket. I will miss you. You were a wonderful companion for the first 6 months of Kaylee's life. Oh so convenient, especially when moving a sleeping baby from car to stroller, car to living room, or any combination imaginable.
I definitely am glad we went with the infant seat though, even if it meant we had to cough up more money in the beginning. With it we were able to take Kaylee everywhere! Shopping, restaurants, grandparents' house, etc. She would often fight naps unless we went to Target or Costco, at which point she would promptly fall asleep. Many a house cleaning was done while she was passed out in that bucket (in the house of course).
But, she had to outgrow it sometime and we recently made the switch to a Graco MyRide 65. We love it so far. The buckles adjust in the same manner as the Graco Snugride 30 so it was a breeze to adjust and install into the car. K seems much happier in the seat as well and loves to sprawl out her arms and legs and stretch. While I originally mocked the dual cupholders (really? Cupholders?) they are actually great for holding paci's or toys (soft) for the ride.
Here's my little angel, fast asleep on her first trip in her big girl car seat.
I love that you call the infant seat a bucket. We do too!
ReplyDeleteWe are about to upgrade to a convertible seat. His shoulders are too wide for the bucket and he's only getting bigger. We will both miss the toy bar that hangs across the top now.
How did they grow this fast??
