Yay for car seats!

Another big purchase has been knocked off the list! Yay! My maw maw gave us some money to get a car seat for Tyler. So I started doing some research and looking around all over the place. I took Josh shopping with me on Sunday to a couple stores, my sister got drug to a couple places on Monday, and today his sister got kidnapped and taken all over town! I finally had decided on a seat that was what I wanted to get for the best price, and of course it rang up $20 more expensive then it should have. So I didn't get it and went home to just order one off the internet... well by the time you factor in shipping charges it was really a better deal to just go ahead and pay the extra $20 for the car seat that I had originally decided on. I didn't really want to have to go back in there to buy it though, so dear daddy-to-be got nominated for the job while I sat in the car! I told him which one to get and gave him the money and sent him in after the seat. After some serious bar code checking. climbing of ladders, and opening of three boxes to make sure that everything was included he went to the check out counter and they told him that the seat was $30 more expensive instead of the $20 that they had told me. The poor cashier made a comment that someone was in there earlier that day with the exact same problem "imagine that." I don't know exactly what went on (because I was still in the car) but I was told that the bar codes ended up matching with the sale price and we managed to get the seat on sale for the lesser price. Go Josh!!

After all that adventure, we got home and I had to play with it and read the manual and everything. Then I wanted to put it in the back seat to make sure that it fit level and secure and that there was enough room for it. It went in pretty easily, it took a good bit of strength to get the latch system tight enough, we probably shouldn't leave it in there until Tyler gets here, but it's just in there so darn good now! Hate to mess up a good thing!

So basically, we got a good car seat for a really good price. I had about one dollar left over from the money that my maw maw gave us, so we did pretty good!
