Our son-to-be (adoption to be finalized within a month) was born 7 days ago. He was born in Mississauga (near Toronto) and we have assumed care for him since his birth. In his short little life, he has made several trips to see friends and relatives in the greater Toronto area, and made a long 6 hour trip to our home city, all in our Prius. As he always calms down and sleeps well whenver he's in the car, I can only assume that he loves our Prius as much as we do. May it always be so!
Congrats a twofer Prius and Baby. Remember the ride home it may be your fall back position when the baby gets fussy. I have a number of patients who tell me putting their baby in the car seat and driving around is the only way to quiet them sometimes!
I can remember a great many late evening drives to calm my little ones when they were fussy. At least with a Prius you can do it without the concern for the cost of gasoline. Congrats and many happy years together to you all.
The Prius is a fine car, indeed. Big enough not only to transport the little ones, but big enough in which to conceive them! (60/40 down, at least, recommended)
