buckle up!

Comment Published at 07:1607:167 comments7 comments18 Visits18 VisitsReport
This post is from from my other blog here

I do believe I can finally spare my back by not crawling inside of the mini-van to get to the 3rd row in order to buckle my 3 year old in. Yesterday I asked him to buckle himself in and so he tried, no so successfully, but I was there to give him pointers. This morning when I drove him to school, he was able to buckle himself without my help! Yipeee! Of course I need to check to make sure the seat belt isn't over the arm rest of the booster and that it isn't twisted.

Life has gotten just a tad bit easier. :-)

Re: buckle up!

That's fine if they can buckle up as long as they don't unbuckle whilst you are driving.My granddaughter would unbuckle herself and crawl into the front passenger seat , Of course Helen would have to pull over and put her back in her car seat so be careful that doesn't happen

Love Pauline

Oh it's so nice when they can do that! Well done young man! Happily for me, Em learned to do that in the second trimester of my pregnancy with Soph. Perfect!

Re: buckle up!

That is so awesome.. Caker actually tries to do up her own buckle in the car seat.. Though she can't do it!

Its a great feeling when you see them doing more and more things on their own and without 'mommy' or 'daddys' help!

Way to go for Big Bro!!

Re: buckle up!

it's quite a job isn't it? If you have bad back, it'll get even worse. This is another thing people don't even really think about until you have multiple kids in carseats.

Re: buckle up!

I can't fit all my 3 in one row! The girls' carseat is so wide that only these 2 or one of them with my son's booster fit!

Our minti van only now has room for one more. My hubby tells me that should we have more than one more child, we'd have to get a passenger van. Um, I'm thinking to myself, what planet is he leaving in? more? 2 more?
