Graduating from the Infant Seat
It seems like just yesterday when we brought Kayla home from the hospital in her infant carseat. She was so small that it was difficult to keep her securely in the seat without multiple bolsters.

Recently, it became readily apparent that Kayla's infant seat was just not cutting it. Although the "Bundle Me" was amazing when it began to get cold, things were a little tight.

In January temperatures hovered in the single digits. With Kayla approaching the 26" max length and a bunting thrown into the mix, it impossible to buckle her in. As a result, my WW and I were forced to bite the bullet and invest in the infant to toddler convertible seat.
Following exhaustive and comprehensive research, we finally settled on a model. Unfortunately, like most everything, we liked the most expensive model. And, like most everything, we were able to rationalize the purchase. Of course Britax shares some of the blame. They definitely capitalized on our willingness to do most anything to ensure our child's safety. Additionally, Kayla is going to be in her carseat for 5 days/week for the next 4 years! It better be good. To make matters worse, it is not as if our schedules or bank accounts allow us to have a designated kids car.
In the end, we bought 2 "Britax Wizard with True Side Impact Protection" convertible carseats in "Funky Denim."
