After I purchased some plastic stroller type buckles on eBay...I found a perfectly fine solution at the thrift store. I thrift my girls clothes. I love it! It's like a bargain hunt to find a cute (basically new looking) shirt for $1 or $2 and pants for $3. I figure until they are old enough to take better care of their clothes (or at least not stain them over and over with spaghetti and strawberries, etc) then it is perfectly fine, great even, to get used clothes. Goodness sounds like I could do a whole post on that.
Anyway I found a cargo type belt (1 1/2" wide with a double ring closure). It was $0.69 and booyah also the 50% off color tag of the day. So I bought it as a temporary fix. We even took it for a practice run to the store. I sat Seren in the basket again and looped the belt around her snugged it up on the outside so she couldn't mess with it. She didn't like it. In fact I think she was darn near pissed off about it. At first she was really trying to fight it and stand up (not a chance). Then she gave up and just whined about it a little. I got a few sideways glances while she was freaking out but hey I prevented a concussion so who cares.
I am hoping the next trip to try it out won't be so troublesome. It was the middle of nap time today and we had a super rough night as well. Seren is not always the twin in the basket either but Kendall was half-asleep when we got to the store so I didn't want to chance her cranking out.
**Update: The buckles I ordered never came. I checked on tracking and the stupid company sent them to my old address...despite me updating the address with them and them sending me an email saying they'd send it to my current address. Grrrrrrrr! The belt has worked fine though despite the fact if the girl in the basket gets fussy that people notice more. Come on people...I dare you to ask me why I use something to belt them in! Bring it!
