toomanyshoes - I hear you on the other kids bit too hun - recently we visited ppl who let their 5yo son sit in the front seat - he is probably a good head shorter than my 6yo - and they asked me why my son doesnt sit in the front (we were going somewhere and I said no room fo rme to take another kid) - they scoffed too at that - and that my DD (just turned 4) is in a booster and harness.
