Safety First Infant Car Seat

Before checking out of the hospital, the nursing staff’s parting duty to us was to carefully inspect our ability to secure Cassidy in her fancy Safety First Car Seat. It was a complicated adjustment at first to get things just right as we were still under the impression that babies are fragile … HAH!

Despite their resilience nothing makes us feel calmer than knowing she is safely strapped into her rear-facing car seat when we go out to run errands or just go for a drive to try putting her to sleep for a little while. Either way, the combo system we have is awesome and we use it every day religiously.

The rear-facing seat attaches to a base that is permanently hooked up in the backseat behind me on the driver’s side. A handy mirror that was gifted to us by a close friend is perfect for keeping an eye on her in the rear view mirror too which is very reassuring, especially in the first couple weeks when she had very little neck strength and we could see right away if she was bobbing around or in any danger from bumps in the road.

The detachable seat is very sturdy and fits snuggly into an equally handy attachment that places her on the accompanying stroller for going to the mall or walking around town for a comfortable stroll. This is definitely a must-have for any new parents in our opinion.
