It's also interesting to notice how different refueling, pit stops, and idle times are with the boys. With Isa ... well there is a bit of showmanship. For me ... they just settle into whatever task needs to be done and do it ... weird.

Getting them to settle down and sleep cause they are so tired they can't stay awake is always fun

They know who's boss.

Okay...Carseat information for ya!

Hi! Okay, here is the carseat we are looking at for the babies and why "Auntie Marsha" likes it:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...ER&v=glance

1. It has received the some of the highest safety/ease of use ratings by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration);

2. It can be used rear facing to 35 lbs. and forward facing to 65 lbs. with the five point harness, (the same kind of shoulder straps, chest clip and crotch strap like their seats have now) which is safer than just putting them in a booster seat later on with the regular seat belt;

3. The height of the shoulder straps can be adjusted without having to unhook and rethread the straps (there is a lever on each side that you just pull out and move up and down to adjust the height);

4. The cover comes off so you can wash it and just slips off as well without having to remove straps;

5. The headrest comes off when you are still using it rear facing. This way, it's not in the way of the back of the front passenger seat. Once the babies are forward facing, you have to put the headrest back on;

6. The fabric is really nice (won't be hot in the summer) and it's really nicely padded so they will be comfy and has the little wings on the side so their hem!eads won't flop forward when they fall asleep;

7. For the price, it's as nice with even better features (IMO) than the Britax brand. Britax does make really good, safe car seats, but they are close to $300! The best price I found for this one is $178.99 on Amazon.com. It has free shipping and no sales tax. (although Amazon is whacky in the fact that I have seen the price go up and down on a near daily basis. I've seen it go from $181.20 down to $176.99!) I know it still sounds like a lot of $, but you won't need to buy them another car seat since it goes to 65 lbs. They have to be in a car seat or booster seat until they are 4'9" tall, usually until about age 8 (what the NHTSA recommends from a safety standpoint). I think at this price, it would be the same as buying a less expensive car seat now with a lower weight limit and then spending more money for a booster seat a few years from now.

8. This seat comes in a lot of different fabric color and pattern choices, even a cute girly one for Nour! (hehe...always thinking of lil Nour!)

If you read the buyer reviews on Amazon, you'll see that many people have given it great ratings. So far, this is my top pick for the babies. I may just get one for Zain first since he will outgrow his sooner than Nour. And we will need it anyway for when we babysit them!

So there you have it, my pick for the babies' newest car seats. What do you think?

Isn't she the best God mother?

looks like I'm going shopping. need to drop child(s) into the seats and also to see if the seats fit the car (meaning ... so I'm not shoved against the steering wheel)
