Oooh... looks like a touring or touring elite!

Kecia · Nov 4, 2010

Yup! Touring Elite! It's AWESOME!!!

Jennifer mom to my 7 · Nov 4, 2010

Tuesday is better for me! And I will be there, if you set this up

Pm me how far from 208

LuvMyCharlie · Nov 4, 2010

Monday is better for me since DS is in preschool on Tuesday and I have to pick him up by 2 pm. And I'll prob. only come if Beck will come with me, since I'll have both kids and that's a bit of a drive.

BeckC · Nov 4, 2010

I can only go on Monday.

PS - Hey, any instructors want to sign off on seats for me so I don't lose my tech status in a couple weeks? lol

Louisa · Nov 4, 2010

i work all day both days

monstah · Nov 4, 2010

Oooh, I will be an hour away on Monday. BUT, I will have all three kids with me and DH is working.
I'll let you know, I don't want to miss this!

Spam · Nov 4, 2010

I wish I were closer, I so want one.

jjordan · Nov 4, 2010

Wish I could come! Have fun!

emtb79 · Nov 4, 2010

That can be arranged but I might feel the need to challenge you! Ever installed a Nania Airway or a RF Intera?

Well, if I can make it (and I think I can!) I can bring a Coccoro if someone wants me too. Otherwise, my kids will be in a Frontier 85 with SG clip, a GN & a RN65 SL dressed in XT clothing (it's awesome).

Baylor · Nov 4, 2010

I am completely jealous. I am not sure why yet.. if it is al lthe different makes of car seats.. or the ability to safely install them or just because it sounds like a fun day for car seat enthusiasts...

Lemonade · Nov 4, 2010

Oooh. That is so tempting. But it's nearly 3 hours for me (Philly) and I'd have both kids. Darn, cuz last week I bought a Hybrid Go and I'd love to get a tech to play with it with me so I know I'm doing it all the right way. If this ever ends up a little closer to me, I would really make an effort to go.

Can you see me telling DH that I'm driving 3 hours each way to meet strangers in a parking lot with our kids.... A few months ago I drove 2+ hours to Baltimore (used to live there) to pick up a FR from a carseat crazy friend under the guise of a playdate, sort of.

Anyway, I'll be wishing I was there.

Baylor · Nov 4, 2010

Me too. Maybe if we tempt them with Soft Pretzels??!!

Meg · Nov 4, 2010

Ooo, I think I can swing by and I have some seats that aren't on your list that will be in my car.. RA55, CA, and RN 80SL!

Jennifer mom to my 7 · Nov 4, 2010

Okay, quick... I can do Monday, but need to know, like soon. By tomorrow morning, so dh can arrange his day for Tuesday. (I don't drive, he takes me

) I will have 2 kids (the 3.5 and 2 year old) and a dh to help out, too

He is more than willing to help me out, and you all out, for me to get out of the house

Sooo, decide soon

and the only seats I have different are a montery and a regent. XTSL and old style boulevard will be in use. Ooh, you don't have a monterey, guess I will need to pack the back. Any strollers to add?

Am I the only one who misread it as GREEK playdate?
