The Booster

This morning was Declan's first car ride with the new booster seat versus a big old car seat. It was a little nerve wracking for me to get him settled in knowing the booster doesn't attach to the car and there are no right straps. Declan just sits on top with the normal lap and shoulder straps. So weird.

Declan loved it.

I got him all set up and he noticed right away how much freedom he had. He liked that he could lean forward. I got in the car myself and Declan asked "Can I have my toys?"

I turned the interior light on so he could see that they were sitting on the back seat just beside him.

"Oh!" He said as he reached for them. "I've never done that before" he says proudly as he discover he can reach them easily from his seat.

There were squeals and laughter as we turned corners. Declan isn't used to the movement felt in corners be caused he'd always been so securely strapped in.

The verdict?

We need another for the other car. Kid loves the booster seat.
