My husband is just plain perfect!

We have been shopping around for car seats and stroller travel systems and lets be honest they can get pretty expensive! So I decided to get creative..... I get on the graco website and you can order all new replacement parts to your car seat except the actual cover. Kind of annoying seeing as what if it gets a tare in it or extremely stained to unclean able. What do you have to do, buy a whole new car seat? I started to do some research on this and found a few websites that take you step by step on how to reupholster a car seat. Who knew it could be so easy!! I also did research on doing this to your car seat and what the dangers were.... NONE the only thing it said was that it could void the warranty on the car seat, meaning if there was an accident that in some cases the insurance company wont replace the car seat for a new one. If that was all I had to worry about then I say go for it. Here is the part about my Husband being perfect, not many men would go and help me pick out fabric let alone help me sew and figure out how to do this for the car seat. I am so grateful to have him. He is plain perfect in my eyes and I am so happy I have a husband that is willing to do these girlie things with me.

With Rylee's unexpired old car seat and new buckle and strap replacements it will be good as new! Another thing I found out while researching that I had no idea about is that if the straps on the car seat are to get wet it can cause the material to break down and in an accident the straps can actually break! Who knew!! So when washing your car seat don't wash the straps and strap covers are pretty important for that:)

Here are some before pictures of the car seat and as soon as Aaron and I are done I will put up pics for the finishing product:)
