Ha! We have the same gymni. I’m sort of obsessed with Tiny Love.

Congrats on the upgrade, I’ve never been quite so lucky. I’ve driven 12 hours round trip with a 4 month old and then again when she was 10 month old (just this past weekend). She did better than her 4 year old brother. I think I should have stopped at the dollar store!

Roadtrips with little ones are a crap shoot, aren’t they. My oldest was perfectly content in the car as long as it was moving. If we stopped, ever, he would commence a 45 minute wailing session. Oh the things we would do to avoid stopping at stop lights. Praying, cursing, circling through parking lots… we did it all.

I don’t blame Vivi. I hate everything about the time I hit the western Wyoming border too. And I always have to drive through the rest of the state since I’m heading east…

We did our first LONG drive in April. NJ to FL. I’m hoping to not do that again… but it was alright. I can tell you our car dvd player made the trip almost pleasant (and that I have memorized the entire script of Tangled now).

I lost count of how many flights Zoe and Ana have been on. They’re old pros now.

I can’t even imagine a road trip with a two month old. We did 10 hours with a 2 1/2 year old and an 8 month old and I though that I was crazy! Luckily the kids did amazingly well. I think I’m far too chicken to try it with a newborn!

You are like my Road Trip Hero, man. I cannot imagine a trip like that with a newborn. And I love that Cody was all, UM NO. GET YO BUTTS ON A PLANE, LADY. ha

@Claire, We weren't actually driving when I took that photo, we had just stopped at a gas station and she got out to wiggle. (I can't turn around in a moving car anyway...HURL!) I can assure you that she is always in a car seat and seat belt when the car is moving. Thanks for watching out for us!

ah! please have Addie wear her shoulder belt over her shoulder. (Does she pass the five step test?) It is very important she also be sitting up in the car or she is not protected in the event an accident might occur. If she still sleeps I would recommend she still be in a high back booster seat* a graco turbobooster or SKJP Moterey), it will also ensure the seat belt sits on her shoulder not neck. Please don’t feel that I am harping on your parenting choices or being bossy. I only want children to be safe in the car as it is statistically the number one killer of children in America.

if you have any questions email me or check out car-seat.org they know everything
