Menu Plan Monday

Today is going to be a restful, slow day. That is my plan, anyway! The only thing I need to do is check our infant car seat for an expiration date. Did you know they actually have a date that says "do not use after this date..."? We have used the same car seat for our last 2 babies. One is now 4 years old and the other one is 22 months old. I think we need a new car seat for this one, but dh doesn't think so. :)

***I checked the date and it is Dec 2007. Looks like we're not getting a new one.
Aren't there lots of factors involved to determine the safety of a car seat? This one has been stored in our shed (not climate controlled) between babies. The one I want to get is the one Consumer Reports rated the highest in their latest study. I know their study was recalled, but I want to follow the recommendations of that study anyway. The reason it was recalled is because the tests they did were done at a speed of 70mph. They were supposed to test the car seats at a much slower speed, 35mph, I think. It makes sense to me to test the car seats at 70mph since that is closer to the speed we actually drive on interstates. ***
