That store sounds awesome! It's a great idea to try the things out when he gets here. Yeah, I'm with you. I think I'd rather have a fall baby than a spring baby. My other two were born in November, so I had pregnant summers, but they were easier than lugging around a little one. I'm always worried now that she's going to get too hot or sunburned, and I've had to work around some outdoor time with the two bigger kids because I don't want to put Molly at risk.

Hehehe You sound like me. Once I got the crib together, I was cool with whatever else got done or didn't. That crib was a biggie for me, though.

If the seat is at the wrong slant for the level detector, you could try putting a pool noodle (or part of one) in the bottom part of the seat (where it meets the seatback) and resting the bottom of the carseat on that. There's an article on Edmunds.com about installing a car seat safely, and here's what it says:
Quote:
Check your instructions to see if your seat has an angle adjuster; if so, use it. If not, a small piece of a swimming pool "noodle" wedged under the seat is the safest way to get the same angle. Why a noodle? Well, you can also use a tightly rolled towel, but towels compress over time, whereas the material in pool noodles does not. If you use a towel, check it occasionally to see that the angle has been maintained.
