Re: Repositioning ? / Becky

[Guest guest]

Becky,

Reading your post reminded me that I wanted to know if you have an

opportunity, could you take a photo of 's carseat repo for the

FILES/REPO HDQRTRS/REPO PHOTOS section? I wanted to collect some

ideas of how to repo during commutes, long cartrips, etc., and I was

hoping to get some members' photos of positioned toys, positioned

DVD players, etc.

Any help would be appreciated!

Take care,

Christie (Mom to Repo'd Remy)

Christie…

I will

definitely take some pics of in the car next time we’re out. Of

course with gas prices they way they are and me driving a gas-guzzling minivan,

that doesn’t happen much. Maybe I will just throw the kids in the car

for some pictures in front of the house. I’ll let you know when I get it

done…
