Perplexed
I went to my house or worship yesterday to pick up all of my bathroom components. I hate my bathroom something awful right now. I was able to get the new sink, counter, mirror, shelves, high cabinet and a few other items for about $300. Now I am waiting for the faucet to arrive via UPS and we can start putting my new spa-like bathroom together. What a relief it will be to get out of 70s bathroom hell.When I was at Ikea, it was a constant juggling game in my head trying to figure out how I was going to get all this stuff to my car alone. I managed with 2 trips to the loading area and some foresight when parking initially.
When I was taking my final load to my car, I saw the strangest site. There, on the side of the loading area, was a car seat. It was a toddler car seat. No straps, no buckles, just the unit itself. I have been thinking about it now since last night.
If it was a nice one to begin with, I would assume that those people were lucky enough to have disposable income to just drop it off and pick up a new one elsewhere. But it wasn't. It was a dingy, older model. Was the child with them? Did they just happen to have a few extra? I still can't figure it out. I splurged on the Britax Wizard for Vivienne. I can skimp on many things (I bought Target Brand formula, clothes from Old Navy and eBay, etc), but I just couldn't on a major safety item. We even were silly enough to buy 2 of them when the need arose.
So, for me to leave my Britax seat behind, I would need to have a pretty bitchen IKEA item to fit into my car. I can't even imagine what that would be....

That is really strange. How would you ever choose a store item over your childs car seat?
I was just going to say the same thing to put your mind at ease Meredith. Quite often I have two extra carseats in the back of my car just incase. Most of my friends have car seat sized children.
