So today I have discovered two things: 1. Babies do not keep the same car seat their entire baby life and 2. Paddy outgrew his car seat and needs a new one yesterday. Usually babies can keep their infant car seats until they're about 1 and then they move into other car seats made for toddlers. Unless you're my son, and need a toddler car seat at age 6 months. Sigh. This realization hit me in the most obvious way, realizing I was seriously squishing Paddy's crotch trying to buckle him in his car seat in my mom's car so she could drive my dad and I to the bar. Since I want a Paddy #4 someday, smashing my son's balls for a lengthy car ride did not seem like a good idea.
So after the bar and several Guinnesses (Guinnessi?) later, I'm home and trolling the internet for toddler car seats. Those fucking things are like 200 bucks! Seriously contemplated squeezing his balls in his infant car seat for a bit longer, but eventually decided against it. I'm betting Paddy would never forgive me if I castrated him if we got into an accident. So in efforts to save money, I found one I liked, then bought it used from eBay. But if I discover this car seat is for sale because it was in a car accident and is delivered with blood on it, I am going to be seriously pissed.
