thanks for your story! i'm really needing a car seat for Bailey bc i was just in a car accident last friday and the airbags could have gone off. Bailey wasn't with me, but I had just dropped him off. i keep going over the "what if's". i just need to do something before i become the reason he gets hurt of killed...

The first few times she cried but she got better and I would strap Daisy in the back with her. So now I am thinking if I got a large one for the back seat I could get them use to it before our 14 hr drive to SC in the fall. We usually stop halfway and get a hotel room. It is a lot of driving but if they both can be next to each other and they can see they will do fine.
Daisy has been traveling with us for years and does fine. I was more concerned about Pixie.
So I am guilty as charged  for letting Pixie in my lap. No more bc I think if there were an accident the air bag could kill her and I said to myself I have to seat belt her in for her safety and she will get use to it. She already has we started taking short drives with her in her car seat. Within 1 week she was fine  |
