It’s that time again.  Time to hunt down a new car seat.  It feels like we just did this last month or something but my blog archives tell me it was more like two years ago.  Huh.  How about that.  

So even though Evie’s carseat is okay to 30 pounds, she is getting awful close to a year old and carting around one year olds in those bucket car seats goes against my own personal philosophy.   And tax return time is coming up and that’s as good a time as any to be getting carseats.  Especially when your tastes are as extravagant as ours.  Seriously, once you go Britax, there’s no going back.  All other carseats are shit, comparatively.  And I’m not one of those safety guru/nazi sorts either.  They’re just really good carseats.  

The difference this time is we have two options to choose from.  We could get another Boulevard for Evie (and could potentially get one in adorable and obnoxious girly colors to boot!) and then we would have two Boulevards.  Wee!  OR we could get a Frontier which is Britax’s kick-ass new toddler carseat/booster/awesomeness.  And it’s cheaper too!  Thing is, we could POTENTIALLY find the Boulevard on sale somewhere.  And the Frontier has this nasty little habit of being virtually sold out everywhere we look.  And if we got the Frontier then Evie would inherit Liam’s Boulevard.  And theoretically we could buy a cover for it in the adorable and obnoxious girly colors.

Of course, this will all depend on whether or not I can find a Boulevard on sale and whether or not any place has Frontier’s in stock when it comes time to buy.  We’re leaning towards the Frontier since we know it would last for Liam (and potentially Evie but considering Liam’s stature probably not) until the end of TIME.  Or, you know, at least until he’s in high school.
