Car Seat

Here is Manzi's new car seat. I have to bribe him with an almond to get him to stay on it. He is not afraid of it and within five minutes of me making it, he was standing on it. I haven't tried it out with him in the car. It buckles nicely into the seat and I would put newspapers or a towel under him and that way he doesn't have to be locked up in his small travel cage for long car rides. People have expressed concern over Manzi flying around inside the car. Often, I would let him out of his travel cage and he would hang out on top, but would go to the bathroom off the side, which is very inconvenient. I am not worried about him flying around and if he does, I can easily attach his leg leash so he has to stay on the perch. Even if a cage is large and a perch is small, he would prefer to be out on a perch any day over being in a cage.
About someone to watch Manzi: Yesterday I got a great lead from my neighbor. I will check it out later this week and see if it is a match.

good luck with the car seat.... Hopefully you won't have to see how successful it is going across the country.

Wow, that looks great. Does Manzi have enough space to bring the balls and bibs with him?

Surely if Manzi is old enough to drive he's far too old for a car seat?

Manzi was very embarrassed to see me post that he is still riding in a car seat. He is only five, so I told him to think of it more as a booster seat. By the way Steve, how is it going over there in London? You've disappeared for a while but I'm glad to see you're back.
