Check out Channel 11 for the next few weeks.

Yesterday, while on our way to the Downtown Phoenix Farmer's Market, we noticed that our local firehouse was having a car seat check. We ended up staying for 2 hours while the fire chief filmed our messy car, our car seat and base and little Patrick. We were picked to be filmed for the Channel 11 coverage about current issues for the next 3 weeks. Channel 11 is where you see the city council meetings and such. Not a very popular channel but on TV nonetheless.

The fire chief kept calling Patrick a girl and said that "we might be starting the career of another Shirley Temple." Well, I don't know about that but we now have a sturdy car seat (there was nothing wrong with what we'd done before) but now we might be able to help some other families out there with having a safer drive. I was reminded, though, about the flying objects if the car were to get into an accident (rear ended or otherwise). We should be using the cargo nets in the back if we have them, to secure the groceries such as a can of artichokes that could go flying towards the baby or the stroller or things like that.

So, check us out on Channel 11 starting Monday and for the next few weeks on the "issues" show starring Patrick and the fire chief.
