Decisions, Decisions…
Marin has two car seats. One for my car and one for Eric's car. The one in Eric's car is a less expensive brand and it is starting to show. The cover is just awful and will hardly stay on the seat. So I looked up when she can switch to a booster seat and the recommended age is four. I saw some web sites that say they switched at three but the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) states from age four to eight. Safety is important so I think now we should look into getting another new convertible toddler seat for Eric's car. I know Britax is good but there is a brand called Sunshine Kids and it can fold up for traveling which is very appealing. Those brands are both very expensive so I am not sure what we will do. Is it worth the money for 22 months? It would be if we were planning on another child...but let's not get into that discussion!!

I always thought it was not age but weight that was the main factor in the seats.
