Ok so here is the situation...DS is 5.5, in an MA...I put him in the car yesterday and realized that his shoulders are now just slightly above the top harness slots. I dont know if I just haven't noticed or if he grew over night! I don't know what to do. I am on unemployment and waiting for my financial aid loan from school which wont come until late next month. I now have $40 to my name and nothing else. Hubby just sold his guitar to pay rent and to buy our school books ($700 worth!) as he is also a student. What am I going to do about a car seat for him! I will get $240 next week but I've already committed $200 to my phone bill (via auto-withdrawal), I also have to pay my storage fees which are overdue. So basically, I am broke. Like, completely broke. Cuz well, ya know...the family kind of has to eat too...LOL. I have to take the kids to school 3 days a week as well as running errands almost daily so its not like I can just not have him ride in the car. He also has to be in a HWH seat because we have an old Camry and he sits in the middle where there is only a lapbelt (older kids have the outboard seats with shoulder straps as they are in boosters). I tried to scrounge up $90 to get him a Maestro yesterday but that didn't happen, I also don't know exactly how much he weighs because I think our scale is off, he is hovering somewhere around 48-50lbs. I heard about the 25% trade in deal at BRU but when I went there all of their seats were $150+ and no Maestros.
Anyone know where I can get a seat REALLY cheap, or even free in the south Bay Area/Monterey Bay???
