When Reese was born, we invested on an infant car seat cum stroller. It was worth paying the high price then because it was really convenient not to mention safe. Then when he out grown his little car seat, we again invested on a good car seat for toddlers. Never regretted it. He is going to outgrown this one real soon. And last week we bought another car seat for Reese to be use in Daddy's car. Since daddy is having a hard time to get him to sit still in the car and not playing around risking a bump on the little rascal's head! This booster seat is alot cheaper than his previous ones simply because we are not sure whether he will reject it. :) Now that we know he is alright with it, will get a better and more comfortable one when he outgrown his current one in Mummy's car.
I really want to encourage parents to use car seats not only for safety purposes but also it's easier to control the child and a really plus point when driving alone. You don't have to worry your child doing crazy things behind you!

Mine really screams when it comes to 'confining" him .. I also dunno what to do .. maybe I was not strict enough. But if you are willing to let go your old toddler car seat for a good price, I dont mind purchasing one to try again on him. Just scared waste money buy new one and he does not wanna sit in it. BTW my son is 2 yrs. Up to what age does this fit?
car seats definitely a way to go... without car seats, i cannot drive by myself... Both my girls are used to car seat since newborn.
Hi Family First,
I started using car seats when Reese was born because I travel everyday to my parents place and the journey takes about 40 to 50 minutes depending on traffic. So each day we spent at least 1.5 to 2 hours in the car.
Reese was ok with car seats until maybe when he was about 8 or 9 months when he resisted it and that's when we changed to the second seat. Then he was happy with it and again a few months down the road.. he resisted it for a month or so and then he was ok up till now.
You have to start them from young else they will resist. It's not too late now for your little one to try and since he is already 2, you might want to wait till he is a little older and get a booster seat. We got one for RM299(Graco) and it's reasonably comfortable. You can always take your little one to try on a booster seat and see whether his height and weight are ok with the seat. A booster seats can accommodate the child from 3 to 12 years old but then again, it depends on the child's height and weight, for Reese he has the height and weight for a booster seat. So make sure you let your little one try on one.
We are planning a number two, so won't be selling ours. :)
Linda,
Great... that's what every parents should be doing for the children's safety.
Car seats are definitely a neccesity during traveling with babies. I love graco car seat.
