How many:

Kids?

Carseats?

Years?


I was driving today and for whatever reason started thinking about the # of carseats I have owned so far. I will play first

I have owned 9 carseats (will be 10 when the Oobr arrives) for my 2 kids in the past 6.5 years.

I am curious is that a lot or not even close compared to other carseat junkies out there!

Kids: 1 of my own, 1 that I used to nanny and bought a seat for because I was sick of moving theirs.

Seats: 5.5-7.5, depending if you count the return and the crashed seat.

Years: My own is 13 months, the kid I used to nanny would be 9 years old now.

In order acquired:
Century OHS something or other (nannykid, in 2001), left behind when we moved in 2005
BabyTrend FlexLoc (2007), currently in storage
LatchLoc base for the BabyTrend (2008), storage
Graco ComfortSport (2008), spare, got it free from the health insurance company when we added DD
Champagne Radian65 (gift, Christmas 2008), used for 3 months then crashed, currently in storage, soon to be a training seat
Champagne Radian65 (gift, Christmas 2008), returned. We wanted one Champagne and one Granite, but decided to chip in the difference and get an XT instead.
Nassau RadianXT (2009) currently in DH's car.
Champagne Radian65 (2009) replaced the crashed seat, currently in my car.

Barnmama, I think you have me beat. I had the count up to 22, but I think that was before the 2 TBs, and possibly the Avenue. So, we could be even.
I was going to recount, but I'm too tired!

That's 3 kids, 3 cars. And Matthew will maybe need another seat to continue to rear face when his MA expires.

Oh gosh, SO many!! I currently own... 28... Holy SMOKES, I think I have a problem!

1 RN80 - 19mo currently using
2 Wizards - 2.5yo DS using one now - mourning the loss of these in November :-(
1 Recaro Signo
3 AO
2 AOE
3 Graco Cargo
3 SS1
1 KF - 7mo DS currently using
1 KF30
2 Snug Rides
1 Apex
1 Scenera
4 Cosco Travel Vests
3 backless boosters
- OH, and I have an extra bench seat for my van with 2 built in's

I have 3 foster children in home now, 7 god-children that I transport from time to time, and miscellaneous other foster children that come and go (have had 47 so far, but no more than 6 at a time). Oh, part of the reason for the VAST amount or seats - I have loaner seats available at all times for caseworkers, the aides who transport my kids to visits with their parents, babysitters in case a kiddo needs to be picked up from daycare and I can't get off work, etc. Still, I have problems...

In the last 8 years, I have had many (33) other seats that have either expired, been wrecked, or been given good homes. I *think* I included all of them in this count ;-)

12 infant seats
17 harnessed seats
2 backless boosters
2 horrible death traps - the Dorell Voyager - that horrible booster/seat with the bar over the kid's lap... I am SO glad I never got in a wreck with kids in those!! (from my clueless days)

Do they have therapy for people like me???

Peg- Just wait for some more regulars to post. I'm sure there are many on here who have had far more than that and some who probably can't even remember half of what they have had. (Like me, I went back and added one more seat, I still feel like I am missing some.)

I almost picked up a Evenflo Triumph Advance on clearance today, but it was only $15 less than regular price, so not worth it IMO. I also tried out the MyRide with my 3 year old. I know she loves the color purple and she had plenty of room left to rear face, thank goodness I have no money at the moment to buy it or I probably would. Now here's to hoping the shopping bug passes before my financial aid comes in September.:thumbsup:
