The teachers at day care and some of my mom friends seem to be amazed that Biscuit doesn’t hate his car seat. He might get to that point some day, but for right now, he doesn’t seem to mind it at all.
When he was a tiny baby, we had this cool sleeping bag thing (real name: bunting) that strapped into his car seat to keep him warm. I never had to force him into a coat because this thing was lined with furry sheepskin fabric. The straps of his car seat fit right through slits in the back of the bunting and had zippers up each side. We would plop him in the seat, zip him up and be ready to go!
We had a lighter weight version of the same thing for early spring.
Now that it’s warmer and he’s sitting directly in the car seat, we are using this thing we got as a shower gift called (no lie) a Piddle Pad. The Piddle Pad is soft on the front and rubbery on the back. It’s basically a lining that fits under Biscuit’s rear end to catch any sort of spillover from diaper accidents.
It only took one such accident for us to say, “Hey. Didn’t we get a shower gift that might help out in these occasions?”
Now that he’s grabbing things, we attached a chiming frog to his car seat for him to play with. It has a Velcro strap that attaches to the handle, so it hangs down in front of him. It is bright green and yellow and has chimes inside it, so Biscuit really enjoys grabbing it and making those chimes sound.
His car seat faces the back of the car, so we even have a mirror that mounts on the back seat so I can see his face in my rearview mirror. Of course, after 20 minutes or more of riding, he’s always asleep anyway!
So by putting to use all the tricked-out gadgets we’ve gotten, Biscuit has found himself quite comfy in his car seat.
