Has anyone else had/have this infant travel system?




I recently bought a 2007 Safety 1st Eurostar Travel System off of Craigslist for . I looked on the website for recalls prior and any faults on Safety 1st’s behalf and found none. The model number is 22 325 CRB. I Just want to know what anyone else’s experience with this travel system was because on http://nhtsa.gov website - the Safety 1st car seats were rated the lowest stars. I originally wanted the Chicco Key Fit 30 travel system because it is one of the safest travel systems out there, but don’t want to spend 0 at Babies R’ Us. Some input on my new "Travel system" would be great. Thanks

We have a 4yr old, a 5 yr old and our expecting our third any day now. We cannot buy another car b/c we are moving overseas and can only take one car. And we can’t trade in our car b/c we just got it less than a year ago (we had no idea we were already expecting when we bought it). I’ve heard of the Sunshine Kids Radian seats and like them, but cannot afford them. There has to be something that will work for less money.
Here is some info:
-We drive a Ford Five Hundred and the backseat is 54in wide
-My 4yr old is 42lbs and my 5 yr old is 53lbs.
-The infant seat and base came with the Cosco Sprint travel system and is a Cosco Designer 22.

Thank you! I hope I find a solution before I pop! I’ve been researching online for days!

Are all Britax carseat covers the same size?




I am wondering if a Boulevard or Marathon cover would fit on my Decathlon seat. Does anyone know FOR SURE that the seats are the same size? I don’t want to buy a cover only to find out it doesn’t fit. THANKS!!

Britax Stroller and Compass Car seat?




I’d like to buy a Britax stroller and Compass Car seat for a new born. But I am not sure if one can fit the other (car seat inside Britax stroller) Are those things manufactured under a standard so a car seat can be set in any other manufacturer’s stroller?

I am a toddler 2 teacher (ages 20-30 mth.) and I have conferences tomorrow. What can I tell a parent whose child, like other children keeps getting bit by another child in our room. The biter has possible sensory integration issues, with divorcing spanish-at-home speaking parents. I truly believe the biter does not have a huge behavioral issue, rather developmental disabilities. What do I say?

What is the cutest stroller for a baby girl?




I have probably looked at over 100 strollers but I am so picky! I want a really adorable stroller for my baby girl that is unique, and absolutely cute! Something real pink and girly.. I really like the Quinny Buzz 3 stroller and might just go with that because of it’s sleek look and lightweight European design, but it’s pretty simple. If you have seen any adorable strollers out there please share your links with me!! Thank you =)

I would like to make an infant carrier. The type I have seen in Mexico, they carry a toddler around on their back. It looks like they a just using a few feet of material and tying it.

Infant Car seat - center or side of backseat?




Obviously car seat goes rear facing, but I know some cars the safest way is to put it in the center, but others on the sides.
How do I figure out which one is correct for my car??

car: Passat 01′
car seat: Chicco® KeyFit™ and KeyFit™ 30 Infant Car Seat

I keep reading old information online saying that infants fly at a discounted rate. But all of the airlines I have looked at say that it’s a full price fare.

My son will be 17 months when we fly, and I can choose to have him on my lap for free, but I would rather him have his own seat. But, I also don’t want to pay the full price, especially when I can take him on for free…

Baby carriers for bulky winter babies?




I’ll be walking my 9-month old to day care starting Monday. I live in a snow belt, and we get some vicious winters. On nice days, I’ll use a stroller, but on snowy, cold and rainy days I’ll be bundling him up in a baby carrier and hiding him under my coat.

We have a Jeep brand babby carrier that has worked great thus far, but, he seems to be growing out of it, and we’ve already expanded it as much as possible. We’ve run out of zippers and toggles to loosen and, if he’s wearing snow pants and a winter coat, I fear he won’t fit in it at all.

I’ll be doing some online browsing for bigger baby carriers, but I’d like to know from experience what carriers other moms have used to accomodate a bulky winter baby. Links would be helpful. Thanks.
Because I doubt my coat will zip around him.
The mei tai was made for a 3-month old. My babby is now a fat cow. I love the bigger coat idea, though. Mine will button around him in the middle, but his legs would stick out.

And to the one who said "Don’t drink and drive"- in all my craziness, I have never driven under the influence, nor do I have any DUIs. You’re a very perceptive troll/stalker, though. Kudos to you for that. Nice work.
