Safety First!
Landry had officially moved up to her big girl seat. I researched for a long time to find out what car seat had the best ratings and would protect my girl the best and here is what I came up with. It is the Britax Boulevard CS in the Riviera pattern. It was a little on the pricey side but she is worth it. It has side impact protection and the head rest raises as she grows. It is still in the rear facing position so it seems really big right now but she won't move to front facing until after the first of the year sometime. They say 20 lbs and 1 year but I still haven't decided if that is long enough. There have been studies that say they should stay rear facing until they are about 14 or 15 months because their necks are still not as strong as they need to be in the event of a crash. The pros: SAFETY!!! It looks very comfy and grows with her. It is also stylish and easy to maintain. I even installed it myself despite the reviews that it was kind of difficult. I didn't find it difficult at all....just thorough. That sucker ain't goin' no where! I hope we don't ever have to test its safety but if we do, I feel as safe as a Mama can with her in this seat. The cons: $$$$!!
