It's been a long time!

If anyone remembers, we moved from tennessee to ohio with a u-haul pulling our car. DS sat ff'ing in his cosco scenera on the passenger side (it didn't install well in the middle) and DH had to sit in the middle with only a lap belt . But the trip went fine and *only* took 3 1/2 days :thumbsdown: .

And we're here in ohio, got into our own place, and found a wonderful midwife for baby-on-the-way. I didn't know it until I was 13 weeks, but there is a homebirth midwife 3 miles from us!!! And she's just awesome, so I really lucked out.

So I know ya'll will be interested in this....

DS (almost 29 months) is even with the top slots on the evenflo chase we got for MIL's car. With the bottom pillow thingie taken out. Ai-yi-yi. What a waste of $70. Our temporary solution....putting him in disposables when he's with MIL so he'll have an extra 1/2" or so. I don't know what we'll do after that, as ALL our extra money is for paying the midwife. If we can hold out until the new year, we can use our tax refund to get another regent I guess.

We don't have internet, but I escape to the library once in a while to get on-line and I sure do miss this place!

Welcome back!!

I'm sorry about the issue with the Evenflo Chase!

Welcome Back!

Congrats on the new baby When are you due?

Good to hear you are moved and settled!

I know money is tight, but would an Apex 65 be an affordable alternative to a Regent? They sell for $99 at Albee Baby. You could always sell your Chase to raise the funds.

I guess you could always apply for a seat through the Kyle David Miller Foundation.

I think a couple of people on the boards have received either a Regent or a Radian80 free from the foundation.

Just some ideas

I thought about the apex, but unless I can get my hands on one with 19" slots, it wouldn't have anymore growing room than the chase, which is about 16.5-17".

I thought about the kyle miller foundation and even went to the site already, but I'd feel guilty applying for a seat when we have a perfectly good regent in our car and lots of people don't even have one good seat. And it's not like I'm working and my mil baby-sits full-time or anything. She just takes him 3 or 4 times a week for a few hours. Darn conscience.

Here's hoping the little booger starts using the potty full-time, so he doesn't have to wear a diaper AT ALL, which would buy even more room in his seat.

Jewels-I'm due the end of Sept.

welcome back!
