As children grow, how they sit in your car will change. Make sure the car seat you purchase is designed to fit your child’s current size and age. Not all car seats fit in all vehicles so test the car seat you plan to buy to make sure it fits well in your vehicle. Before putting your child in a car seat, read the manufacturer’s instructions so you know how your car seat works. All-in-One car seats offer you the advantage of using the same seat for the following positions: rear-facing, forward-facing with harness, then booster. These seats typically have higher height and weight limits for the rear-facing position, allowing you to keep your child rear-facing for a longer period of time. Remember, the best car seat is the one that fits your child properly, is easy to use, and fits in your vehicle correctly. The information here can help y...

I knew Broxton was going to be in heaven with it...  Besides the safety that made me love it, I knew the camo print was going to have him talking about it... Let me try and show you some of the things I am now in love with:   The seat as a whole... It has a back (which basically all friends/ family recommended)  It has 2 cup holders.  5 point harness.  It is a 2 in 1.  Meaning you can use it as a forward facing car seat 22-65 lbs.  but then you can use it as a booster seat with your cars seat belt from 40 - 110 lbs.   I love the fabric... ...

Yes, I followed the laws... but even so, I wanted to keep him safest for as long as he could be...
