I hope everyone had a great weekend. I spent the ENTIRE weekend in training. 2 full days learning how to properly install a carseat. So I have a new title. I no longer wish to be known as housekeeper extraordinaire, supermom, sex goddess, or fashionista. My new claim to fame is Certified Car Seat Installation Technician.
Don't envy me. You too, could become this highly prestigious tech. You just have to be willing to sacrifice you whole weekend to the cause.
Upside... me in a roomful of firefighters. Kinda cool. But none of them would have made the calender. They were, however, very funny and made an otherwise dreadfully long 2 days bearable. 
I was asked if I'd be interested in joining the Car Seat Coalition. After much deliberation, I declined. I thought it might interfere with the Playpen Group or Crib Club I already belong to. I find it hard to believe that there are people who are that passionate about "child restraining systems".
I did learn alot. I learned what UAS, ELR, ALR are. I learned that a pool noodle can make a car seat fit much better. I learned that children should be kept in booster seats until they are 12. (Any one have a 12 yr old they could sell that to?)
I WANT MY WEEKEND BACK!
Seriously, if you need help properly installing your seats, or have questions, please ask me. I would love to use my new knowledge!

oh yeah, I keep harassing Aidan with that, keeping him in a booster until he is the appropriate 4'9" tall. In his case, he would be graduating before he gets out of the booster. He is never very happy with me when I bring this up.
booster seat until 12?? sheesh, i was driving by then.
Seriously though, is there a height thing too. Like if your kid is a certain height but not the 80 pounds or whatever, they're good to go in a seatbelt??
Ya.. 4'9". As long as they are long enough in the torso. Keats is just big enough now to be in a seat belt. OOOps! My bad..
I put Bean's booster back in the van and she LOVES it! She's nice and tall and can see EVERYTHING!
doh! where did you go Jo?
