Well, Target has Turboboosters onsale for 39.99. I needed another one for my mothers car, so we went and got one. The only one on the shelf, thankfully it wasn't the butterfly one (though I wouldn't mind it, my son does).

It's a different pattern than the other one..well, print? Cover? It's the same coloring (black and grey), but this one is called "pierson" and the one we have is called "sport". The difference seems to be that this one has shinier material or something.

I have to get his other one out of my mothers car, I guess, to compare. I just left it in there because I had to assemble the dang thing. I'll probably keep the shiny one in her car, because I dunno.

The girl one was really cute, but they were all out. The last time we went booster shopping last year, walmart and kmart were having a sale--and walmart had no high backs, and kmart was all out of the boy ones, and we ended up at target anyway. lol

Yeah, I feel kinda dorky telling about my graco purchase, but oh well. lol


I went there with my mom, my 6 year old and the 22 month old. At one point, we'd split up and the 6 year old went to the video games section with my mom...and I was pushing around the cart with the big ole box in it and I wondered if anyone would assume that the booster was being purchased for the baby. lol

LOL!

COngrats on the new booster purchase! $40 is a great price! :)

I laughed when I read about you pushing the cart around with the booster box and your baby. LOL. I would wonder if anyone would assume you were buying it for the baby too. :)
 
LOL, but that brings up the point that it's good to not jump to conclusions if I were to see another person in a similar situation... :)

How often does your ds ride in Gramma's car, out of curiosity?

Patriot, if someone would have said anything to me about it (which would have been cool actually. lol), I would have told them, YES, it's for the baby. He's very mature for his age. (So what if he's under the minimum for both age and weight. lol).

Chaotic, I don't actually know how much he rides in her car, not very often. But enough that it makes sense to have another seat. We do all live together, so I've been just moving his booster from car to car he went anywhere with her. The few times she's had to bring him somewhere and I had the booster in my car, she's used his old cargo. Now, we don't have to worry about it, it's already there.

Now, I don't have to worry about leaving it in her car when she isn't home. I did that last week and I was happy I didn't have to pick him up from school or anything, because I LOATH using the cargo in booster mode. I got in the car to go to work and realized I didn't have it! Luckily DS1 was at school (via large yellow-orange bus).

We already have another seat for the baby in her car (another scenera).
