Carseats

Settled on a carseat. Lots of people online rave that the Britax brand is the Volvo or carseats, but despite their pricey $299+ tag, they don't rear face to a heavy weight. They stop at about 30 lbs. Since Myles is 95th percentile now (19lbs, 27.5 inches, 18"head), he's prone to outgrow it in height and/or weight.

So the Graco MyRide 65 seems to be the winner. It rear faces for 40 pounds - seats have a weight limit for rear-facing, compounded with the law that children must rear face (or RF as they abbreviate in forums on the web) until they are 20 pounds AND at least a year old - not either or. So Myles is already nearly 20 lbs, but has another 5.5 months, so I need a seat that'll let him get nice and fat.

The baby business is so deep that Graco makes 4 different fabrics and sells them exclusively at different places. You can only get the 'spiral' fabric from Babies R Us, Target has a grey and teal and Walmart has a black and white. Wow! Is it really that deep? I guess so. Luckily the one I like it at Walmart and they have 97cent shipping for it, so I don't have to step foot in that store.
