HELP....what do you think

Cy, children need to be rear facing for the first year. My bruiser son is 6 months old and has outgrown his infant seat which was $279:oh: with the stroller. He is already over 20 lbs and my wife went out last night to buy him the next level car seat. She bought him a Britax to the tune of $219:you: Thats a total of $500 on car seats in 6 months:hi:

Yeah, and depending on which state you live in, you may even have to buy a third level seat :nut:
 
Mulv mentioned that he had to buy the next level of car seats (for his growing child); that new car seat is appropriate for a certain height and weight range. Some states have different laws such that you'd have to buy yet another car seat for children who are bigger than the intermediate seat is rated for...
 
hey cy, i too like the extended cab, but i think the way to go would be a 4 door pickup.
i cant imagine its going to be easy to get a baby into a car seat in the back of that little cab.

i'm kinda looking for the 4 door because the 2 stooges need some room back there and they each want their own door.
 
cant afford a 4 door, and i like the look of the extended cab better:beer: but it is going to be difficult to to get that dam car seat in there:bat:
 
Cy, You will not fit a car seat in that truck. If I were you I would tell the wifey that you need a bigger truck because of the car seat. Its the perfect reason for a bigger, safer vehicle.
 
BR.....would love to have that one, but dont have the cash for it till I sell this dam JEEP.

Mulv....the child seat will spend most of the time in the minivan, but on rare occasions i might need to take the kid with me.

I already have a bigger safer truck.

but i have to get rid of it cause the payments and gas is killing me. I got laid off 1 day (8 hours) a week, and money is tight. (dam housing market:bat:)

the truck is getting traded in on a used minivan, and want to get some equity out of the jeep to put in the bank. then buy a used truck with cash and still have some left to leave in the bank.

That is the goal anyway.

So on the rare occasion can i put the child seat sideways in the back of the tacoma?????
 
Cy, I feel your pain about the Ram. I too have the Hemi and a payment and its getting ridiculous to put $100 a week in gas alone into the truck.

As far as the sideways facing carseat. I would go to your local firehouse and ask their opinion or if you have one yet your Pediatrician. The firehouses in Phila. have at least one firefighter who is trained in proper child seat installation and can give you advice to insure proper fit. Your area may have a similar set up. Also your pediatrician will know the safest way to transport the baby in a small truck. It may be in the front seat with the airbag off, if equipped.
 
Cy that sucks about your job. I know you are a bright guy and won't have much problem finding something. You could do your own landscape design business. Just gotta cater to the rich....I hear they are the ones spending the money right now. I wouldn't know.

Hang in there buddy, good times are right around the corner. I think there will be some reprieve in the market even if it is after November but I hope not that long.
 
Blue, around here they call that "moonlighting". the office already does some landscaping design. oh well the Home Depot job has me paying the bills for now.:hi:
