A Christmas Present from the state

UPS delivered a very important package for Caitlyn today. It was her brand new Britax Traveller Plus car seat. We found out about a month ago that we were going to be able to get this car seat payed for by Medicaid. We spoke to the vendor on Christmas Eve, and have been anxiously waiting for the UPS guy to come since then. It is amazingly large! We haven't taken it out to the car yet to see if it fits. The car seat is 37 lbs, and we can't use it without a anchor. Since my car doesn't have one, we are waiting to hear from the dealership to see what it takes to have one put in. We figure for now that will be cheaper than upgrading to a minivan...Soon I hope.


Anyway, Caitlyn and I got all of the padding pulled off that she didn't need, and sized the straps and got them in the right holes. So, here is the end result. Caitlyn in her comfy over sized new car seat!

She really looks comfy in the new seat. Kaitlyn will be able to use it for quite a while. Hope you get things worked out so she can take a spin in her new seat!
