Musical Car Seats

Pieces of baby equipment Cora has had to give up solely because we needed to start using them for Hazel:

1. Crib
2. Booster seat/high chair
3. Convertible car seat

  

Hazel has moved up to our Britax Boulevard, and Cora's in a Britax Frontier 85. And whew, once you have two or more kids it's like solving a word problem to figure out who should get what car seat. "If Child A is likely to have a seated shoulder height of X inches before age 8 but can switch from a five-point harness to a booster by age 5, but Child B is likely to exceed the weight limit of Y pounds before the seat's six-year expiration date but only rear-facing and on alternate Thursdays when the moon is full . . . "

Anyway, in this new configuration they can hold hands. Which I know because Hazel reached out toward Cora, and Cora grasped her hand and said ardently, "Best friends, Hayzo! Best friends!" And then my heart burst.
