That is it. I made the FR85 a booster yesterday because I need two HBB for a weekend trip but After that I think I will just sell the FR85 and get another Monterey or maybe the new parkway.

But as I took it apart last night, Wiped it down, Washed the cover, I just felt.. Sad..
And then today that child went to his first day of kindergarten..

My youngest starts kindergarten next week. I feel for you!! I still have harnessed seats though. My five year old is not one of the mature ones that can use a booster. Plus I have four extra kids for the weekend, so have seats for the three and four year olds in my van. So much fun playing with car seats to get three across!!

My 5.5 yr old is now 48 inches and 69 lbs last time I checked. He is a big boy. The FR85 harness is at his shoulders. It kills me. That seat would last all the other kids I know until 8. My 9 yr old is just a hair over top harness height if I put him in it..

I have been booster training him since 4.5. He does great now.

But still my fr85 looks naked..

Your baby is growing up! Enjoy the few hours or freedom that you have while he's in kindergarten for yourself and then you can spend the time with him having fun.

Ha. Today I spent cleaning.. But I realized that after I get into the routine I will have so much more time each week to do chores.

Cleaning with boys in the house is like dusting in a Tornado.

When this happens to me I will on here posting all weepy. No doubt. I get teary even looking at DS's old BLVD70 that he has outgrown RF. DH wanted me to get rid of it so I loaned it out so I wouldn't have to. Every time I see it I think, "My baby grew up in that seat!"

I went to the store and that seat looks so, empty with no harnesses. It does not look right!

It fits him great as a booster, I guess that is something..

Yeah, at least you don't have to get rid of it just yet. Maybe you will be able to find it a good home with someone here when the time comes.

Yeah, I will it is only 2 years old so I don't want it to go to waste as a booster when someone could use it as a harnessed seat.
But I loved that seat. Love LBP, Love the color.. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

My youngest is off to Kinder too. :crying: :crying: :crying: It went by so quickly! At least I still get to have harnessed seats. I don't think I could handle both at once. My kids must have shorter torsoes because my DD who is several inches taller still fits, but we'll be forced to switch it to booster mode soon too. That's great that he's doing so well in the booster.

When my kids entered kindergarten, they switched from rear facing in Multi-Techs to HBBs. That was painful for me, especially when I sold my beloved Multi-Techs! <sigh> They grow up....

Your car will still look beautiful with two boosters!

Well now that I see they may have fixed the tippiness of the PB, I may have to get one or two of them.

I wanted to try the new parkway too. AT least they are coming out with some cool boosters for me to try.

I need 4 really. 2 for Dh's car, because it is a royal pain putting seats in and out of the 2 dr explorer and two for mine. I have the Monterey which I really like but I am not closed to trying others...

I have the GN's in dhs car now in booster mode but I will get rid of them too.

Maybe grandchildren won't be too far off?

When you are ready to get rid of the GN's let me know I might be interested.

It is a shame you just can throw them in an infant seat..
