I added one of these to my registry and never ended up getting it, and after my son was born, I distinctly remember thinking that I didn’t need one and was wondering why I ever added it to my registry in the first place. Then my baby grew- and he grew big enough to kick the seat. And suddenly it became a NECESSITY! Not just for where my cute bb was kicking the seat, but for where the carseat sits, too. If you are trying to keep your car in even decent condition- get one of these!!!
