Will's new ride

After much research on safety features and crash test ratings, Craig and I purchased two new, matching, convertible car seats. We selected the Britax Boulevards and, together, the two seats cost us a pretty penny. Ouch! But safety first, right?

Now that Will is BOTH 20# AND one year old, it is legal for him to be forward-facing in a car seat. However it is still safer and recommended to rear-face up to 30# as the seat allows. So in my car, which he rides in 90% of the time, we will leave him rear-facing. But in Craig's truck, it is much less practical due to space limitations. We took the seats to the Safe Kids Program at the hospital to make sure they were properly installed.

Here are a couple pictures of him enjoying the new view in his new seat!
