We have a free seat in the car!

When the triplets were little bitty's in their infant seats we were able to get all 3 in one row in the car. Good thing, since our car at the time was a Mitsubishi Outlander, which doesn't have a 3rd row. We were for sure not planning on triplets when we bought the car a year or two before. When we needed to move up to the convertible car seats, we also had to move up in cars, since almost all convertible carseats are too big to fit 3 to a row. So we got the Odyssey, and have had 2 kids in the 3rd row and 1, now 2, in the 2nd row ever since. It has always been a pain to load and unload everyone. We finally bit the bullet and got the triplets new seats that will squeeze 3 in a row!

Jericho thought the girls old seats were a fun toy, that or since his last booboo's are healed and he thought he needed a new one LOL.






The new seats are pretty awesome. The Sunshine Kids Radian 80SL's are 5pt harness rear facing 5-45lb and forward facing until 80 lbs! Xander picked out his own, they had another model with a pattern of different colored circles all over it, but he liked this one. We asked him 4 times, we actually liked the look of the other seat, but he was very adamant. When they got here Jason and I both told Xander he made the right choice, I think the circles would have been too much LOL.


Jericho has moved up to Xander's Recaro, he digs it :)
The Three Amigos!


They loved holding hands.


Awww <3 Now when will the "he's touching me" "stop touching me" "she's looking at me" crap will start LOL.


I think we need to get them some of those neck pillows, poor Xan, that does not look like a comfortable way to sleep.


A little flashback...so tiny :)




The kiddos were all excited to go for a ride in their new seats, so we drove to a near by park for an hour or so. It is still cold so we didn't stay too long.


Me, Jericho and Xander had to go to the car to warm up for about 20 min.


So excited to be up front, he buckled his own seatbelt LOL.


Mr. Jericho's eyes are changing I think. They are not staying blue blue like the triplets. Right now they look more like mine, with a little green in the blue.
You don't have your license son.


Back out in the cold.

A free seat!!! That is AWESOME! I had a free seat for a few months, then our littlest took it over. I guess whenever we get to move to booster seats I'll get a free one again. I love the flashback photo! It's amazing how quickly they get so big. . . .

oooh ... narrow car seats. We could use one or two of those. We need to get a new one for Annie and if we can find a narrow one, maybe we can actually utilize all 7 seats in our car.

I'll look into those. Thanks for the tip.
