Baby Gear

This weekend Guy and I took care of the most important item needed for baby - we bought an infant car seat. There are a lot of baby items that one can make do without but the car seat just isn't one of them! Yes, I still have 6 weeks to go, but its not something I want to leave to the last minute - after all, what happens if he decides to come early?

After much research, we narrowed it down to 2 - the Britax Companion and the Chicco Keyfit 30. Both are very highly rated, but in the end, we decided on going with the Keyfit 30. One of the things we like about the Keyfit 30 is, as the name states, it will hold an infant in the rear-facing position up to 30lbs. Most infant seats only go to 22lbs. The best part is, I got it online for the same price as their 22lb model plus no sales tax or shipping charges - yay!

Wow! Car seat arrived in the mail today.. that is one thing I will miss about Memphis - everything gets here fast in the mail! Guy had the stroller put together in no time at all. He didn't even have to read the manual. Had some fun chasing the dogs around the house with it... if they don't like it now, just wait 'til there's a baby in it!!
