So here I was at the big walmart in Celina with my measuring tape out getting ready to measure the new evenflo booster when an older couple with a baby came up to me. He was like you act like you know alot about carseats, and I said that I like to be informed I was just checking out some info on a new seat to post online. He told me that his granddaughter was ready to outgrow her infant seat and could I recommend a good seat and did I know the law in ohio. Well of course I was standing right there in front of the uptown and told him what a fabulous seat it was and we talked about how the minimum is 1year and 20lbs but that the seat rfs to 35lbs. Grandma really like the AOE becuase of the built in booster so I got my measuring tape out and measured the little girl who was 10months, 21lbs and 30inches. I explained to her that while the AOE was a nice seat for short chubby babies, her granddaughter was on the tall side so she would probably outgrow it heightwise before she was ready for the booster. Then I was explaining to them latch and everything and they looked confused so I gave them my business card and told them that if they ever needed help or a house to give me a call and they left with the uptown. So then I was checking out and we happened to be checking out at the same time and we got to talking again and I told them that unless they had a ss1, she had already outgrown her infant seat. So here I am in the walmart parking lot in a dress, hose and heels installing their new uptown in the pouring rain. I got it installed and adjusted ready for them to use and showed her how it worked and they thanked me and I gave them the web address for here. This has just totally made my day:D

:( I went to kmart later and unfortunately I couldn't talk a couple out of buying a cheapy cosco booster for their 7 month old. I even explained that it was illegal and he said well its only a couple of months until she's 1. Oh well, I guess can't convert everyone.

Did you then stalk them to the parking lot, catch their vehicle and plate # so you can anonymously call them in later? ;)
Ok, so that might be a bit psycho, but it sure sounded funny :D
