Let me explain why this was SO exciting!! :) Our child has never really been a carseat fan which does not make for a ton of fun in the car. :) He does ok on short rides (like 15-20 min) but anything more than that...we better have something planned out to entertain him. He just did not like facing backward AT ALL!! I think he got really bored, and got annoyed with his toys after awhile. We tried a ton of things to make him love the car rides...but he would usually just get pretty irritated.
For roadtrips we were huge planners...and we had to have everything ready to go before we took off. We knew how long we would drive and play with him, when he would watch a little movie, when we would stop to eat, how long he would sleep, etc. :) That made those trips much more manageable. :)
So needless to say, all three of us were THRILLED when we could turn Braden around. We literally could not wait to do it! :) The doc said we were good to go...and by the afternoon he was facing forward. :) Since we have turned him around, we have not heard one peep out of him from the backseat. :) And it has allowed me to resume my front row seat next to my hubby!! YAY! :)
As one of Braden's bday presents, we ended up buying him a 2nd Britax carseat for the car as well. :) We have only had one convertible carseat in the Armada. and we have moved it back and forth when needed. Having two carseats will make things much easier, and we will not have to rely on just one car to always get around in. :) Then either Chris or I can get Braden from school, etc. So much nicer...and we are loving it already! :)
Braden had a lot of fun playing in his new carseat box. :)
And trying out the new carseat too!! Pretty comfy. :)
FINALLY!! I could not be more thrilled to be facing forward now!! I can see everything and I love riding in the car! :)
