Crazy Carseat Dreams

I had the funniest dream last night, just had to share.

I dreamed that I was working in a church nursery (or something like that) -- looked out the window and saw a parent installing a Vantage RFing. I put the baby I was holding on the floor, told somebody (no clue who) to watch her, and RAN out to the car. I asked the parent if she'd been at the check earlier (she had) and if that's how we'd shown her to put the seat in the car (it wasn't.) So I told her it wasn't safe, and turned it around, set it properly on the seat, and put the six-year-old in it -- seatbelt fit beautifully (yeah right!), mom was happy. Then I turned my attention to the 18mo in the center; RFing in what was supposed to be an AOE (only it looked like those Eddie Bauer FFing only seats.) It was installed center with borrowed LATCH, loosely, to accomodate the fact that it was flat on its back. The part that should have been the "bottom" was flat against the seatback.

Weirder still was the fact that my mom, uncle (her brother) and aunt (dad's SIL) -- so opposite sides of the family -- were packing up some things in the parking lot and had no problem waiting for me to finish "because that's more important." They normally roll their eyes at my CPS stuff, lol.

It was super-strange. (Guess that's what I get for reading carseat stuff before bed?) The only other carseat dream I've had is one in which I dreamt a friend's niece was 56lbs at 8mos, and I was beside myself, hysterical because I knew there was no seat in the world she could RF in. LOL!

Anyone else had any weird carseat-y dreams lately?

I've had car seat dreams. I had one last night about getting DD a Parkway SG, because I've been thinking of getting her one. I also dreamed that I had to put my kids in my MIL's van with no seats since I couldnt afford extras. That was actually something I was thinking about before going to bed last night since the last time we visited all I could do was put them in low back boosters.

I dream in car seats frequently! I have dreams that I come to the board and there is an announcement about a great new seat that is being released, and it's the answer to all my car seat wishes, and I get to put in an order for it right away. And then I wake up and none of it's real! :(

And I have lots of dreams about being confronted with tricky installs and impossible seats that don't really exist (like there is absolutely no belt path, or it's made out of paper, or the harness system is just a net that fits over the seat, and I've never seen a seat like it before so I feel like an idiot).

I wish I'd have a good one like you had!

Right before Thanksgiving, I dreamed I found out at the family dinner that my cousin put her very immature 3 year old in booster mode of the Maestro I got him (for real) in June. I screamed at her and her husband and told them they must want him dead. Then I confiscated the seat, since it was going to waste and they have other boosters. I woke up angry and then relieved. :)

I had a dream I was in a huge warehouse full of carseats and there was a bright red EFTA for $15, I just had to have it. It was way at the top of bleachers, but i made dh go get because for $15 I couldn't pass it up and it looked so cool.

Last night I dreamed that I parked next to a car with two cosco type HBB. I somehow had a glimpse of the DOM on one and it said 1991. I freaked out and waited for the person to come out so I could tell them their seat was very unsafe. I think this is because the other day I parked next to a person with those types of boosters and they looked very old. One had a tan shell and arm rests and the other didnt even have a cover, it was black with a FF belt path, but I don't know if it was for boostering or not. There was no harness.
