I couldn't haul around Maya's infant carrier anymore without almost falling over. Maya is almost 9 months, and I weighed her on the baby scale, and she weighs about 23 lbs! So you add the 23 lbs plus the weight of the infant carrier (at least 10 lbs), and I'm carrying around a lot of weight all the time. Plus, those carriers aren't the easiest thing to handle.
I had bought Claire a new booster seat a few months ago, but just didn't move her into it yet, so I decided last night was the time to change everything up. Claire helped me put her new seat together (then put it up on the couch and sat on it). Jeff and I came into the room and saw her sitting in her new seat on the couch and each thought the other put her in it. We laughed at her. So cute! Then she helped me put her new seat into the car. Of couse, she wanted to sit in it after we got it set up. Then she wanted me to get in the driver's seat and drive (so I just sat up there instead so she'd be happy).
The new car seats were put to the test this morning on our way to daycare. Maya LOVED her new car seat and was checking it all out and laughing and telling us stories about it. Much easier to get her in and out of this car seat as I'm dropping Claire off for daycare and getting ready to take Maya to her daycare. Only thing that will take time to get used to is handling two kids without car seats. Usually we could have Maya in the infant seat and set her down to take care of Claire. No longer. I'm sure it will be fine, just need to figure this part out.
