CARSEAT
Coral, starz
i won't follow strictly to the weight limit for changing the facing of the seat. i guess by if bb's neck is strong enough to take the impact should the car come to a sudden stop, then can switch

another story for you to convince your hubby about the importance of car seat. All it takes is just someone's else carelessness for an accident to happen.
This happened to my hubby about 1 yr ago. It was raining and he was driving within the speed limit and keeping a safety distance on the ECP when a car in front of him skidded and spin. At that split moment, hubby knew that there was no way he could swerve cos he may also end up skidding or hitting the car in the next lane. So the only thing he could do was to brake and hope for the best.
Thank God for ABS brakes and airbags, he was ok. Front airbags all deployed and repairs to car was over $30K (claimed from the other person's insurance).
We were v thankful that Joshua was not in the car that day. He's usually in the car seat and after that accident, all the more we are more firm about him being in it.
We may be safe drivers but it's unpredictable on the roads.
i can understand your hubby's reluctance to use the car seat especially if it's the family car and if you need to remove the seat so that more pple can sit.
I've learnt to put up with such inconvenience. Mine was worse cos it was a 2 door car so it means either i got to squeeze into the backseat while J takes the front seat when hubby drives or struggle to put him in the backseat thru' the front door. For safety sake, we still do it.
selina,
Despite our insistence that he has to be in the car seat since young, now that he is older, he will protest. And it doesn't help that my parents or sis who bring him out in their own cars dun have car seat so he thinks he can get away with not sitting the car seat in my car.
We will still insist that he sits in it and just let him cry.
Very siong for me when i bring him out alone and have to struggle with buckling him in.

i'll be at the sale early cos i wanna quick quick finish and go back before it gets too crowded. i think this time round won't be so "hiong" as the post xmas one.
