Thrifty Thursday: Affordable Car Seats

I remember having my first baby and being a college student. The place where I was doing my work study wanted to buy a gift for my husband and I for the new baby. I asked for a car seat. I choose this because they were so expensive. Well, all these years later and not much has changed. The car seats look a bit different and I have to say that I love the concept of the base for car seats, it's really helped me be more safe with my baby's car seat. The good news is that there are some really nice car seat models that offer safety and affordability.
