FINALLY got the Stroller & CAR Seat!!!

Well, we finally decided on our carseat & stroller. I got Roob to come with me to BabiesRus (which he hates, since shopping for anything besides tools is boring) and take a look at the carseat I was interested in. We had an associate take a few out to our car to actually strap them into the car, to make sure they "fit" before I purchased it. Well, according to her the Chicco brand carseat is allowed to ride in the car with the carrying bar in the upright position, which gave me the extra room that I needed to have it fit in my Subaru Outback! YEAH, I'm so excited! So that took away all the stress of having to find a new car in a hurry, especially since we don't have the money to buy another one. Woo hoo! I also clarified a few things with her on the carseats and baby weight (which I had previously misunderstood). Basically, if we bought the infant carrier with a 30 lb. weight limit instead of the 22 lb. weight limit (like MOST of the carriers have), we have a REALLY good chance of being able to keep our baby in that same seat his entire first year, or until he hits 30 lbs. Then, once he's 30 lbs, we can go straight to a forward facing carseat, instead of having to buy what they call a "convertible" carseat (one that carries the baby either rear or forward facing). So what I'm trying to say is that by choosing the 30 lb weight limit seat, we are hopefully avoiding having to purchase an EXTRA carseat (which runs at least $200. So that is what we did.

At first I wasn't too sure about the color scheme on the fabric, but it's growing on me and now I think it's dang cute! It's pretty bright and fun! Roob really likes it, which also makes me happy. And it was nice to have him there so I couldn't turn into the ever famous "Captain Indecisivo." (for those of you that don't know, that is my nickname that Roob has given me since I can NEVER make up my mind about anything). :) hee hee. Oh I almost forgot the BEST part! I had some coupons for the stuff, so we ended up saving $40 on our purchase!!! That is freaking cool. I love saving money!
