Our New Baby-Ready Carpool Lane Pass (and car)




My car stopped cooperating so we were suddenly thrust into the car market. I had 2 criteria in looking for a vehicle: 1. Four doors, so we can get the little one in there; 2. An HOV sticker - basically a free pass into the carpool lane - to make my commute more tolerable. We also had been looking for a car that got great gas mileage (I really dislike sending money to countries that hate Jews, Americans, and human rights). We found exactly what we were looking for (pictured above). And, as an added bonus, it's easy on the environment.

After we picked up the car, we went by my dad's place, where a small group of Chargers fans had gathered to watch their beloved team lose to the Patriots. Kathy (of Zack & Kathy) immediately asked us if the new car had anchors for a carseat. Karin and I looked at each other quizzically. "Hmmm..." we pondered sheepishly to ourselves, "She sounds like she knows what she's talking about." Kathy went down to the car and found that the new car does, indeed, have carseat anchors. That was a bit of a relief. This whole parenting thing is complicated.
