We love traveling on weekends and with your little one it is super fun. We bought our car last year when my baby was 5 months old and the first thing before going for weekends and outing was buying a car seat for my baby.
It takes time for baby to get use to it but it is the best decision for your little one as safety comes first. Using a car seat is the best way to protect your baby from unintentional injury when traveling by car. We are using car seat from more than a year now, at times it’s not so easy when baby wants to jump out of car seat but you need to calm baby by toys and playing with her/him. You can always carry baby’s favorite toys and snacks so that they are more happy and enjoy traveling. It is a blessing when you plan long road travel with toddler and you need both safety and comfort for you and baby. Just amke sure and read some details before you buy car seat for your baby.
