Melanie's New Car Seat

Since day one, Melanie has really disliked riding in her car seat. Just recently since she has discovered Barney & Bear in the Big Blue House has she been OK with riding in the car-she can listen to a DVD. Even that wasn't good enough sometimes. So we decided to buy her a forward facing car seat, which was also given the OK by her pediatrician.
We bought Melanie her very last car seat. I don't know how many of you know this, but, kids up to 10 years or 100lbs. are supposed to use a car seat/booster seat. So with careful consideration, we chose this Graco 3-n-1 car seat. It's forward facing, starts at 20lbs. and moves on to 100lbs. You use it as a car seat, a high back booster, and then a backless booster. We shopped around at different stores, online , and finally settled on this one. We appreciate the safety it will provide, and the comfort. We also like that the seat will grow with Melanie. And Duane's FAVORITE feature is the built-in cup holder. She seems to really like it. We did a test run and she couldn't stop pointing at the things she saw, and talkin', talkin', talkin' about everything. No DVD required!
Here's Duane cleaning/preping the car-vacuuming. He found quite a few crumbs!

The very safe, cool, pretty, comfy toddler seat.
