I’m 30 weeks pregnant and I have a 3 yr old boy. I’m so excited about bringing our little girl home. Anything that surprised anyone else? Anyone have any advice on having a newborn and a toddler? Whats your biggest challenges?

i have an alpha omega elite convertable car seat, and i was wondering when i convert it to a booster seat, do i take out the harness? I don’t know where i put the manual and cant find it on the web.

I drive a 2 dr 2001 chrysler convertible, and really dont have the money for a new car for the next couple months. I was wondering if any of you parents out there have a smaller car and this seat? How does it fit? Or any seats you would like to recommend. I have a 9 month old, 18 lbs and about 28 ins. Thanks.

I have a Britax Infant Companion Car Seat and I am looking for a double stroller. I have tried the Contours Tandem which is the only one that I know of it will fit in. It sucks because it is like driving a bus. I really like Graco strollers but I don’t know if the car seat will fit in it. Anyone have a Britax Companion and know of a good double stroller to buy? I have a 2 year old and I am 2 weeks from my due date with baby #2

Other than the Graco Safeseat, is there any other infant carseats that can hold a child up to 30 lbs?

I really like the convenience of having an infant carrier so I do not disturb the baby when I am taking him in and out of the car but want something that will most likely last him up to his 1st birthday.
I am 9 months pregnant right now and am deciding on a car seat.
this is my 3rd child. my first was 6 lbs 13 oz when she was born and did not reach 22 lbs till she was past one.

my second was 7 lbs 6 oz when born and outgrew his seat at about 10 – 11 months.

I already have a convertible that my son (who is 2 1/2) is using. So I figure that i would just give that to the baby when he outgrows the infant seat.

I have an unopened package of infant safety scissors (that I do not intend on using for both baby and cats). They need their nails trimmed, and I cant afford to go buy ones specialized for animals right now. Will these work for them in a safe, comfortable way? I hope this doesn’t sound ridiculous! Thanks.

Typical leather cleaners are not effective on this stain. I don’t know for sure but I believe one of my nephews spilled cola on my seat; I found out much later after the stain had set in.

,she is going to be lapheld.thinking of buying a baby b air,or should i take her car seat,if so where will i place the car seat? (she doesnt have a seat for herself)whats a child restraint system and is it for older kids?

I’m having a very hard time making the decision of which convertible car seat to buy. We don’t have extra money laying around so dropping 300 or even 200 on a seat seems pretty outrageous (I’d almost rather buy separate seats for the different stages). So, if anyone has advice on which seats worked in their cirruses or sorta smaller cars or which seats are best in quality (padding, safety, height and weight requirements) and price, please let me know. I know everyone has different opinions and ultimately I’ll have to make the decision, but it would help to have input. Thanks.

(My baby is almost 9 months old and has been in one of the Graco infant car seats but is pretty tall and will probably soon outgrow it, so I’m looking to buy one ASAP)

I have a side to side baby planet double stroller. Any ideas where I can getting mosquito netting? I looked on their website and they don’t sell any. The only double stroller netting I have found online is the front to back. Anyone w/side to side double strollers have any ideas?
Thanks.

My son is nearing his first birthday. He hasn’t outgrown the length or weight specifications for his Grace SafeSeat, so we’d like to keep using it for a while. But he really doesn’t like facing rearward. Once he is 1 year old and over 20 pounds, can we turn this infant car seat to a forward facing position and continue to use it? Or are our only options to move to the forward facing seats?

Thanks!
