So we're off to visit grandpa, a good 40-45 minute drive from home. We had to make a detour on the way, something The Monstar hates. When the car stops he thinks he should be getting out, and if that doesn't happen he gets cranky big time! So we were hoping he would fall asleep on the way and we could leave him in the car with his big brother. (The big brother is really big, 17, so not leaving 2 kids unsupervised in the car! Although I guess that's debatable lol) It really is a hassle to get him out for the whole 3 minute stop then wrestle with him to get him back in again when he thinks he needs a bit more of an out of car adventure before we head off again. He was getting very tired but just not dropping off. I was siting in the back with him and thought it was a shame I couldn't get a boob in his mouth then he'd drop off in no time. Hmmm... actually, looking at it, the new seat is really low to the actual car's seat, I think it's doable. If I just squidge over a bit and sit up really tall and lean just a bit over to the left, BINGO! Yes, and in no time, and after only one car passing, looking over pointing and laughing, we had a happy sleeping baby :) Mission accomplished. Not the most comfortable position for me, but I didn't need to take my belt off, not that I would anyway, and at least we know when it's needed we can calm The Monstar without stopping. Well, provided I'm not driving that is :) Just another little woohoo for the seat.
