Movin' On Up

As Samuel noted in his 7 month post, he is at nearly 20 pounds and he is simply too heavy to carry in the infant carrier. So, we ordered Katrina a new car seat

 

 and moved Samuel into her Britax.

 

 Katrina is only 30 pounds and therefore needs to be in a transitional car seat until she is  at least 40 pounds. We bought a car seat that serves children from 22 to 100 pounds. Although we are pretty sure she will not be using it when she is 100 pounds (I weighed 110 when I got married!), we wanted something that gave us some flexibility, especially since most likely Samuel will move out of the Britax (maximum 40 pounds) before Katrina is ready to be car seat-less and then he can move into the Safety First Vantage and she can get a little booster.

Now we are getting used to having Samuel in our arms and then in the cart without his infant carrier when we run errands. He enjoys the change of scenery and we feel like we have a big boy.
