FIVE POINT HARNEST...

Watch this video and try not to cry !

what is funny about this subject is that james and i have had this on our mind for a LONG TIME....you see, alex, who is already 40 lbs, technically can be using the lap/seat belt BUT BUT BUT i chose NOT to do that because i KNEW it was just TOTALLY unsafe!! i know that he is still too YOUNG to be just in that and tooo easy for him to slip out of it!!! soooo, he is still in the 5 POINT HARNEST and we are actually are in the market for a new carseat that has the capablilities for a 5 point harnest with bigger weight...there is ONE at BABY R US that can hold the kiddos up to 65 lbs and it is made by COSCO and it was just under $200...there are actually VESTS you can buy that are used with your seat belt!!

anyway, with matthew, we are getting ready to get one from the insurance (for obvious reasons) and his will hold him FORWARD FACING WITH HARNEST up to 105lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (it is by BRITAX traveler plus and you don't have to be special needs for this one but it is pricy) SOOOOOO they are OUT THERE so please, like this family knows, keep them in as long as you can!! there is NO SHAME in having them in their carseats for AS LONG AS YOU CAN!!! AND darn it, if they are embarrassed TOO BAD!! :)

anyway, here is a VERY good link on ALL TYPES of carseats that i have been studying (go down to the special area towards the bottom for some good ideas for carseats that go a bit higher with harnest):
http://www.car-safety.org/basics.html

AND a GREAT forum about carseats:
http://www.car-seat.org/index.php

they talk about ALL types of carseats!!!

anyway, love and give all your kids and love ones HUGS & KISSES and make sure you let them know you love them ALWAYS, because you NEVER know what can happen!! and if you forget just WATCH THAT VIDEO AGAIN to remind you
GOD BLESS...
