Trucks and Baby Seats.

After the compulsory two day stay at the hospital it's time for Jack to venture into the whole wide world. Everyone is dressed for the occasion and mom is sitting in the wheelchair ready for the journey down to the truck. Jack has his all-in-one outfit on, just to make sure he's warm. The cart is loaded with best wishes paraphernalia and it's more of a parade as we make our way to the escalator.

Once on the ground floor, dad has to maneuver the Chevy out of the car park and as you know with hospital car parks it's always jammed full!!

Well, leading up to this joyous occasion, a lot of ground work had to be done to checkout the best baby seat to cart Jack back to his home. That's where the BABY BARGAINS SECRETS book came in handy. It covered everything from cribs, bedding, clothes, baby proofing and yes, CAR SEATS. Well, we went for the Britax Roundabout, this seat carries a baby up to 30lbs rear facing and 40 lbs forward facing and has a built in recline, built-in locking clip and snap-together chest clip. Phew! As far as we were concerned the Rolls Royce of baby seats.

By now dad had the truck positioned outside the hospital automatic doors, out comes mom and now's the time for Jack to be placed into the car seat. Dad picks up Jack and hoping the adjustment is correct places him into the car seat. Wow!! It swamps him but fortunately the settings were on the smallest and it fitted him satisfactory for the journey home.

With Jack now safely on board, mom in the seat next to Jack and all buckled up safe, dad loads up all the presents and flowers and the final farewells are said to all the hospital staff involved.

Dad climbs aboard, buckles up and turns the key, the Chevy rumbles into life and off we go, slowly to a whole new beginning.
