[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there no parks, beaches, libraries, cages, etc within walking distance? Go for bike rides, play in the backyard, go rollerblading, go for walks, go explore. [/quote]

OP here. They live in a neighborhood about 5 miles away from anything (and there's no sidewalks outside the neighborhood). Also, the reason I want to be able to drive them is because its crappy weather (either raining or snowing, and when it's neither,[b] it's muddy in the back yard and we can't play[/b]). Also, I should re state the car seat situation. They have large Britax seats that convert to boosters, so the bases are HUGE. The two older girls are big enough to fit into base only booster seats, and those are the only ones that would fit into my car with the youngests car seat in the middle. So I would use the dads car seats, but he has the large convertible ones and they are larger than normal. Plus, they use the latch system, and if I were to latch a carseat into my car, I'd prefer to keep it there at least through the week because before this, the latch system had never been used in my car so it takes about 20 min to get them in.

To the one poster bitching about crafts. The girls LOVE crafts. They get super upset when we don't have the necessary supplies for crafts. Im not asking for craft supplies because I want to sit there and make paper snowflakes while they watch tv. The craft supplies are for them.

And yeah, I wouldn't feel comfortable going out and purchasing car seats. That's the parents decision, and they need to be the ones to choose what they feel is safe enough for their children.

You can't play in the mud? That's the best time to play in the backyard! Bring a change of clothes for yourself and let them have fun!

Chances are, if they are using the big car seats, they want their kids in them. They don't want to use just the bases. And that's their call to make. The older two get out of the house regularly. If you're bored with just the one then you need to figure something out. Part of your job. [/quote]
