When our Twins were smaller, we have fabulous car seats that were 5 point harnesses and we kept the boys in them until they were well beyond the legal requirement. We wanted our boys safe as possible. One of the Precious Moments of my Parenting came when we were leaving town on a road trip and we were all set: bags packed, gasoline filled up, GPS, and we were off.
This precious moment includes our young babe crying...I was in the passengers seat and I tried to talk to our son. I tried to give him water, a toy, etc. I was hoping to keep our son calm while my husband drove. My son began to cry louder, I reached back to hand him his blankie, hold his hand....nothing was working.
My husband pulled the car over safely and put on the hazards opened the door to talk to our son and see what was making him uncomfortable. He was pulling on his car seat. His harness was not completely snapped and HE KNEW IT! That moment will always remind me of each precious moment we have. It also reminds me to be safe! Buckle UP and double check yourself. Right! My son knew that secure feeling of his 5 point harness car seat buckling him up.

Our most precious moment was us leaving the hospital after our son was born and heading home together as a family.

We went to Myrtle Beach last summer, we traveled at night, so the next day, we played and ran for the beach, cause some of us had enough sleep, except the driver. LOL! Thanks for this great giveaway! Paula C. tenderninnie@aol.com

My most precious moment in the car is when my 2 year old comforts my 5 month old in the back seat.

Some of my most precious moments are hearing my toddlers, 4 and 2, laughing, talking, and singing together. They love to listen to Patch the Pirate cd's in the car, and then they sing the songs throughout the day! The songs have such good lessons. It makes me happy that they are such good friends and that they are learning together! It makes up for the stressful times with them! With one more baby on the way, we will have many more precious moments to make! :)

One of the most precious moments in the car was being able to look back to smile in the mirror and see him giggle back.

I love when our boys (4&5) sing and coo to their baby sister. The best is when they sang to her "you ar my sunshine" on her first day back from the sitter. They love their baby sister.
