We didn’t even realize it, but the boys had outgrown their original car seats, by both weight and body length. So this past weekend we upgraded their travel\u00a0accommodations\u00a0to 2 brand new plush seats. They honestly look more comfortable then the seats in the front that we sit in.<\/p>\n

Brenda did a lot of research and came up with a seat from Graco called the Nautilus 3-in-1<\/a>. Although it was more expensive then some of the other options, it had the best reviews on Amazon.com<\/a> by people who had purchased it. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The only down side to the new\u00a0chairs\u00a0is that we can’t just lift the chairs from the base and carry them in. For example, whenever we would go out to eat we would just carry the\u00a0chairs\u00a0in and request a large booth so that we would each sit with one of the boys. Now, not only do we have to carry them in but they have to sit in a high chair. In theory it sounds OK, but they are just too excited and too unrestrained for us to really relax at all. But, like everything else, we’ll adjust.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here is a short video of their trip to Chili’s, and their first treat to sitting at the table while being out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
