A workhorse of a carseat

So, I know this is sort of a stupid thing to post about, but when Caleb turned four he got a booster seat so Elinor and Jacob both moved up a carseat. That means the good old baby carseat ended up out at the dumpster.

This carseat (along with the coordinating stroller) were given to me and Joseph when I was pregnant with Emily six years ago. I really liked this carseat/stroller set that was way out of my price range so my mom and sisters were super awesome and group-gifted it to me. All four of our babies came home from the hospital/birth center in this and it held up so well the whole time! They also all slept really well in this seat, which was a plus. It is still in great shape and looked almost new as I was carrying it out, but it did expire in October of 2012 so it had done its time.
I was feeling strangely sentimental about the whole thing as I was walking away, so I snapped this picture.
Goodbye, old carseat. Thank you for serving us so well!
