This is Mr. Squarepants, the scarecrow that he made at school this fall. He was his car buddy who rode in the car for weeks right next to his car seat.
David finally had enough when early one morning he went to get something out of his truck and he saw a figure slumped over in the back seat of the car. He nearly had a heart attack thinking that we had left Carter in the car all night long! Fortunately it was Mr. Squarepants and not Carter! It took him a bit to realize this though and this is when Mr. Squarepants could not ride in the car anymore.
