Today will be the first day my daughters have ever ridden in "my car." I drive what used to be Donna's 1992 Saturn SL. I suppose it is still hers technically, but I am its driver about 97% of the time. It has no air conditioning, so I really try to avoid driving it in the summer.
We just got some booster seats as a transition from the car seats they have in our primary car (2002 Honda Accord). The old car seats are in the Honda, but the new seats are in my car. I will be picking them up at a friend's house after work. They are pretty exited to be able to ride in my car.
These new seats are quite a bit different from the old ones. These aren't securely tethered to the car. They mostly are just a booster seat the girls can sit on while they are buckled in like a normal person. The seats are good from 30 to 100 pounds, so in theory they could use these seats until they don't need car seats any more.
It feels like one of the big transitions from being a baby to being a child. I hope I don't get all misty-eyed when I pick them up today. Probably not. It's just a car seat.

Hi, Just happenned upon your blog while looking for head xrays a la Google. (You have one of your daughter's up from a while ago). Anyway, Your sense of humor amused me, and I read on a bit. You have a good writing voice if you ever wanted to pursue it.
I also wanted to mention that most booster seats have the option to be secured like the convertable seats. Your girls will be safer if the seats are more securely installed. (I know its not my business, but I'm a mom with 2 little ones as well, and I just couldn't help myself).
And finally, I completely understand how you feel in your air-condition-less auto. I lived in Austin with no AC in my car for 7 years!! Nothing like TX in August during rush hour....ugh!
