1. congrats
2. while this is a nice idea, its the wrong idea. Remember that kids' bones aren't the same as adults. For the first few years, a real baby/infant seat is a prudent responsibility. wait til the tyke is older before someother seat.
of course i am absolutely stunned that so many places have laws mandating child seats fr kids up to 80 lbs?!?!? Honestly, i was out of a kids seat by the time i was 2 i think, and i turned out alright. 'course i could have shot my arguement down right there....:banghead:
