This was not a major accident but because our babies are so little even a little accident could be deadly for them. Gawd that was scarey! Use your carseats!

Wow Nikki I'm so glad every one is ok. I just shortened Sadie's and Chewy's strap to the car seat today. I was worried about them getting tangled in it, but this is a good point. Thanks for sharing.

So glad to hear you guys are ok! That must have been so scary. Poor sweet Sugar, he had to get a dental on top of that! lol, better to get it over with and just call it a bad day! I hope the night was better for the two of you!

I have the snoozer lookout II, I got it on ebay waaay cheaper than at some of the online stores. I'll keep my eyes open for the one you want. Hope this finds you well!

I bet that was scary! I'm glad you both are ok! I do a no no too! I drive with one hand and hold little man in the other by the window! He don't like his car seat! but now I don't care if he don't like it. He will be riding in it from now on!

His car seat is actually a booster seat, but I think I want one for the back seat instead of the front seat where the airbags are. That way I don't have to worry sbout the airbag hurting him. I'm going shopping right now for a new car seat! Thanks Nikki for opening my eyes!!!!!!!!!

I am so glad you are both okay! What a scary thing to happen!

[Bella's Mommy]

[scrappysmom]

I'm so glad you both are ok.

[Beabble]

Thank God no one was seriously injured and your furbaby is ok!

[wookie]

Wow, you and Sugar have had a traumatic day! Your experience today definitely opened my eyes and taught me of the importance of car seats for the furbutts.

[Shelby&Seymour]

So glad that you guys are OK!!!....... and also a great lesson for those that don't restrain their animals while in the car!! Protect those babies, too!!!

[Ozzie'sperson]

SO glad you are both alright! Even fender benders can be deadly to our babies.

[wookie]

I know I know! But I'm just a pushover when it comes to my furbutts!! When I hear whining or crying from the back seat, there I go holding them and reassuring them! But no more! I will not be taken advantage of anymore!!

Wow, missed this thread somehow! Thankfully she was in her seat, that could have been tragic!
Glad you both are ok!
16 hour shift, that is crazy and apparantly unsafe.

Nikki... so glad to hear you are both OK. Give that sweet baby kisses
