When Baylie turned one, she weighed 21.8 lbs. That meant she was ready to graduate to a forward facing car seat. It was perfect timing since she needed to be one before she could face forward anyway.Then there is our humongous little boy Jalen. Today we went to the doctor and found out that at 5 1/2 months, he weighs 21.6 lbs. He will need a new car seat in .4 lbs. I had hoped that Baylie would be in a booster before Jalen needed a new seat, but that's not going to happen. So now I ask you:
- Where can I find a safe forward facing car seat that doesn't require that the child be three and that costs less than an arm and a leg? (We're giving Jalen Baylie's seat and need a new seat for Baylie.)
- How do I grocery shop with a child that can't fit in a portable car seat, but can't yet sit up in the basket of the cart?
- How does a child spit up so much and still get so huge?
- When should I start sending out recruiting film to colleges?

He is a chunker! I don't know what to tell you about the car seat-they all cost and arm and a leg. Do you know they are supposed to be 20 lbs AND one year old before facing forward though? The carseat class I went to said it's because their bones aren't strong enough to absorb impact when they are so young and the rear facing carseat absorbs it for them. Baylie's seat probably can still face backwards though...
good luck!
But he's so dang cute! Take a stroller shopping and let Baylie walk. Ha!
What a chubbster! He sure is a cutie!!
My kids both out grew the infant seat (that went up to 20 lbs) at about the same time- 6 months. It is horrible to try to run errands without the infant seat (especially when they would fall asleep in the car seat before going into a store) but they, just like Jalen will, got used to it with time. Be sure to use the belt in the cart, and if you put it on tight enough it will help him stay upright.
Lets just say I had to buy a new car seat for this baby #3 and I got a new one that goes up to 30 lbs so as to avoid this whole situation again. :)
We buy our car seats and Burlington Coat factory. I feel like they have a good selection and their prices are reasonable.
HE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute... I love it...Both of your kids are so gorgeous-I think I have written this several times already but it's TRUE:). So happy for ya'll...
