Dearest Skyler,

Do you realise how much you are loved by Mommy and Daddy? We're spending so much money on you because we simply want the best for you that we can get!

We've finally bought a car seat for you. As we've mentioned before, we were ding-donging back and forth between all kinds of car seats before finally deciding on this one.

We thought that we had to give up on the idea of the combination rear and front facing seats due to the length of our car seatbelt. We thus decided to get you an infant carrier seat as that should fit without any problems. We decided to visit "Baby's Kingdom" once more to see what they had to offer in this area. We had been there before and we had been introduced to other combination seats but we thought that they would not fit either.

Anyway, we went back there to see what infant carriers they had to offer. They had a few but we were not very impressed by the offering. The second salesgirl told us that the combination seats that they had would have absolutely no problems fitting in our car. She told us not to waste time with the infant carrier as it would not last very long as you would grow very quickly. We were doubtful at first as we thought that all car seats would be installed in a similar way. She "challenged" us to try it out and we decided to give it a chance.

She fit it into the car without any problems!

We were then totally thrown off! We had to rethink our decision. It could fit so did we really want an infant car seat. We decided to buy the combination seat that they offered as we would then not have to purchase two different seats for you. And the seat was one of the plushest that we'd seen so far. It was from an Australian company called Safe-n-Sound, which is actually a branch of Britax, one of the most reliable car seat manufacturers around. It was the Guardian model. We decided that we would buy that but the salesperson - Janica - told us to consider the next better model called Royale. It was really the plushest, most comfortable car seat that we'd ever seen - even when compared with models much more expensive! However, it was still very costly.

Mommy and Daddy spent a lot of time debating which model would be better for you. The Guardian was already very good but the Royale was very much better. But it cost more. We kept on swinging between the two until finally we decided that we wanted the best for you. We got the Royale! We hope that you really find it as comfortable as we do. It's really the best that we've ever seen and touched. And also way beyond our budget. We really love you!



Grow well!

Daddy and Mommy
