Does this look buckled right to you?? 6/12/08

I am such a carseat freak!! I was so excited today when Bic brought over the Nautilus he bought to keep in his car! This seat is so cool! C seemed to really like it too! All the straps were easy to adjust and the install was a breeze...Bic actually installed it himself under my supervision. Anyway, it is nice to see more seats that harness past 40lbs. Now, I am in the market for more seats that will fit 3 across in our car. Unfortunately, the truck did not sell to either of my eager buyers and I just don't know if it is a great idea to take way less on a trade. We are going to do a few more repairs to it and hope that I can list it for more, but still sell it. Right now, we think that since the power window motor needs replaced and the 3rd door handle isn't working right that it is scaring people off. Seriously, those 2 repairs would end up costing less than $100, but I guess it will be better if we suck it up and do it ourselves. Also, I think that the wheel sensor might need replaced...another cheapy job, but as the buyer I guess I would want everything done for me too. Oh well, the more I was thinking about it the better it would be if we wait a little longer. Depending on what happen with J's job situation (he had the interview for "the job" only 5 miles away AND he has a small opportunity for a raise/promotion at work), we might go an entirely different way with the whole car situation.

Question of the Day: Would you buy used carseats if you felt that they were well-maintained? I really don't think that I can do it. I know that the chances of anything being wrong with them are very, very slim, but it just seems too scary to me. I can't even really imagine using one that I borrow from a friend or relative. I don't know why...just a weirdo that way!

P.S. I am just kidding about the title of my post!! C decided he needed to "buck" himself in and that was the beautiful result! LOL!

Good Things:

*The Nautilus has arrived!

*Talked more to my neighbor and made an actual plan of what we would do if I needed her to watch C while we went to the hospital.

*Got to talk to some friends that I hadn't heard from in awhile!
