These aren't children's books- I read them in Jr. High/High School, but books by Robin McKinley have very strong female characters. The one's I think of when I think "princess" are The Hero and the Crown and The Blue...

Ok- so I checked it- the foot is flipped toward the front of the carseat- the back of the car.... (argh its so confusing- front being facing front or front being facing back) so I think i have it right! Switched back today with no...

I know better than to front face my 2 year old, but I did it on a trip where I had a long-legged front seat passenger and it was easier. I just never turned it back. I watched the videos again and just went down to turn the seat, but...

So, I am a moron who didn't bother to do their homework! I just went back and looked, and realized that it sounds like you already live on the north shore, and probably already know about most of the stuff i posted- Oops! Anyway- the...
