We take Ryle in the car all the time. We usually just let him sit in our lap or wherever he wants to sit. He really likes to look out the window so he sits on the console, but it is so slippery that we ordered him a car seat today that sits on top of the console. He's gonna love it. WOW, the things we do to keep them happy, but sooooooo worth it for all love you get in return.
