No, I've never driven with him there, but I am guilty of once having my munchkin in my lap. Anyway, the way his seat works is nothing fancy. The seat straps into the car seat, Kaji wears his harness, and I hook the car seat strap onto his harness. Super easy, super compact when I don't need it, and it's safe.
Personally I agree with your hubby that a stroller is over the top. That's just my personal opinion though. A car seat is a must have. It shouldn't fall into the want category like carriers and strollers do. |
Amen.
Car safety is so important. I learned after getting into an accident last year where my car was totaled, Jackson was in the back and luckily unharmed. Had he been on my lap, I have no doubt in my mind that he would have been dead.
I now have a Snoozer carseat that Jackson loves getting into! He even sits in it when we are in the car and not driving (stopped to eat for example). It's awesome and he can still look out the window and be safe at the same time. The seat is basically just a 'booster' as he is strapped in from the little thing that attaches to the cars seatbelt buckle. He's 16lbs and fits perfectly in a medium size Snoozer -- got it off ebay for $79.
