Apparently I was expecting hockey\/football playing boys or whatever sports girls typically play that involves large equipment.. I traded in a car I still very much miss, but just plain wasn\u2019t large enough for the gaggle of babies I pictured in the backseat.<\/p>\n<p>Well, not gaggle. Just 2 or 3.<\/p>\n<p>Little did I know that I could have kept my beautiful sparkly red Moxie as there will <a title=\"Infertility is an Ugly Thought in my Head\" href=\"http:\/\/beccablogs.com\/?p=1383\">never be rear facing carseats<\/a> in my car.<\/p>\n<p>During our process of furniture shopping for the Fletchling (<em>a name Steve really doesn\u2019t like!<\/em>) I have also been looking at booster seats thinking we\u2019d pre-purchase them so we\u2019d be prepared.

The maturity component is a new one to me. I always thought age and weight was the only thing determining when to go from 5 point harness to booster seat. Since we don\u2019t know what age child we\u2019ll be adopting, we certainly don\u2019t know his\/her height, weight or maturity level. We will definitely be waiting until we meet and are matched to purchase car seats for our cars.<\/p>\n<p>In very fun news&#8230; I am participating in a blog crawl for National Adoption Month.
