I'm seeing red...

Big boxes for a little baby.

Our new car seat (Graco SnugRide in Lotus). Thanks Bauby Debi and Grandpa Jim!
This is all bundled up with the cold-weather "boot" on:

And without the boot:

The base next to the car seat. The base stays in the car all the time to make sure it stays installed correctly. The car seat snaps in and out so...
it can snap into a stroller!

Here's the stroller without the car seat.
And then the stroller with the regular seat in it. See how it's two strollers in one?
If you know us well, we don't even need to tell you that we (mainly me) researched a lot of car seats. We looked at the safety ratings including the ratings on the "failed" consumer reports test which only was a failed test because they crashed them at too high a speed--this car seat still passed. Riding in a car is one of the most dangerous things a baby can do (or any of us can do really) so we wanted to make sure we picked out the best one we could. Baby Pope will be riding in this car seat until she's 22 lbs or 29 in whichever comes first. We're guessing that will be somewhere around 6 months old give or take a month or two. The stroller will probably be used as long as she's willing to ride in a stroller.
