What to expect with the switch to a brace from a cast?

[Guest guest]

As I just finished planning our " Great Western Family Excursion " (we are

driving out to SLC this time from NE instead of flying & making it our family

vacation this July) I realized I have yet to ask all you other wonderful CAST

parents I have come to rely on what we should expect as we make the transition

from cast to brace. Will it be similar? He will be getting a Boston brace I

believe & he will be exactly one month shy of 2 1/2. Since it opens in the back

will his stomach be uncomfortable after meals? Will it be similar to the cast

as far as riding in the car seat? Will clothing fit similar to how it did in

cast? Diapers?... Any tips or suggestions you all can give would be much

appreciated!
