Facing Forward!
After two years of sitting and staring at the back of a chair, Thumper got a whole new perspective on life – and a new-to-him car seat!
Right before a road trip to visit Nana and Papa, the Webmaster pulled the infant car seat that Thumper has been using for the last two years and replaced it with Rerun’s not-that-old seat (we bought it right before Thumper was born). It was pretty comical to see Thumper’s head on a swivel as we pulled out of our driveway and headed down the road, as he took in all the sights that he’d always missed before.
The only downside to moving him up to the next-size car seat is that sleeping isn’t quite as comfy as it was. When you’re already strapped in and reclining on your back, it’s a normal sleeping position. Sitting upright and having your neck do the work – not so much. Still, he is reclined slightly, so it isn’t too strenuous.
And I really like being able to turn, make eye contact, and talk to him. It’s a whole new world out there, Thumper – have a look at it!
