convertible car seat - where do you put the toys?

amyinaustin

I know, I know, toys present a "projectile hazard" in the event of a crash, yadda yadda yadda.  DD is a MUCH happier camper though when she can chew on something nearby.  We miss the infant carrier handle that we could attach all this fun stuff to.  With a convertible, do you just clip a toy to the straps?  Do you hook things on to the under-side of the car seat?  Looking for ideas to keep DD occupied and happy during her waking hours in that thing.

TIA!

only thing clipped to his seat is a paci

otherwise we jsut hand him stuff and he has it or he doesn't

we keep a bucket of thinks on the floor in front of her since I can reach that in the car. It is great when they drop stuff too  since it lands in the bucket rather than rolling under the sseat.

 

It is an oval plasic thing with handles....I got it in the dollar section at target a few years ago to put drinks in at a party and realized it was the perfect size for the car.

Ditto the others- I just put a couple toys in his lap before we go. ?If he throws them down, I'll give them back at a stoplight or he just has to go toy-less for the rest of the ride.

Yeah, I got a big ol lecture from the car seat safety lady when she saw toys hooked to A's infant seat.  In the convertible, I just hand them to him.  There's really no need to clip them anywhere.  If he throws them, then he has no toys to play with until we stop.

Ditto this.
