Riddle me this: say we take the kids to the drive-in for a double feature. We have a little 4 dr Suzuki with two car seats in the back.

After movie 1, it'll obviously be time for Jacen to go night night. But there's no room in the backseat for him to lie down with the car seats. So we could take his car seat out and let him sleep there while we watch the second movie. But then we have to wake him up, reinstall the car seat, latch him in and drive home. Or make him sleep in his car seat during the second movie? (cruel as fuck, that is.) am i missing some secret option I can't think of? i guess i could recline the driver's seat, let him sleep there (good luck getting a 4 yr old to sleep behind the wheel of a car), and then we could watch the second movie on lawn chairs outside the car. that might work.

just curious - what movies? -- nm - JenBro May 20, 14:25 9
- Well, there's a Rio/Source Code screen, a Pirates/Thor screen, and a Fast Five/Bridesmaids screen. -- nm - TFox May 20, 14:29 7
  - Wow. Those are some interesting duos. - kelly May 20, 14:31 4
    - yeah, it is. i was thinking Jacen could watch Rio while we watched Pirates, and then he goes night night while we watch Thor. - TFox May 20, 14:34 3
      - I am sure he will be thrilled no matter what the movie .. "DRIVE IN!!!" ... a nice chocolate milk instead of soda might help induce the sleep too :) - JenBro May 20, 14:41 2
        
        the best part of this plan is, i get to have clam cakes tonight. - TFox May 20, 15:08 1
        
        mmmmm. - kelly May 20, 15:29
  - wow - you have THREE drive in options? I'm so jealous -- nm - JenBro May 20, 14:30 1
    - one drive in, three screens. projection house with snack bar in the center. -- nm - TFox May 20, 14:33
- And they better be "G"!! -- nm - CovingtonCat May 20, 14:27
Or let him sleep in the trunk. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with tomato plants May 20, 14:18
odd - I know parents that will put their kids in the car seat and drive them around to get them TO fall asleep - is it just uncomfy for Jacen? -- nm - JenBro May 20, 14:17 1
- Find me a parent who *doesn't*. I vividly remember a Mad About You episode all about this. -- nm - Mop May 20, 14:18
What kind of sadistic car seat do you have that you won't have your kid sleep in it for 2 hours? - Mop May 20, 14:16 4
- Yeah, we do that too, but making him sleep sitting up in a front-facing car seat while the car is friggin parked... - TFox May 20, 14:18 3
  - he won't fall asleep before the first movie is over? (I'm thinking dark car, etc.) can you turn the seat sideways/maybe recline it some? -- nm - b. May 20, 14:21 1
    - he may fall asleep, that's true. and we could also like relatch the seat while he's sleeping in it... maybe. - TFox May 20, 14:35
  - Nah. I think you're over-parenting. He'll be fine. - Mop May 20, 14:20
