Graco mosaic car seat….forward facing?




I have graco mosaic travel system and my sons now the right weight to go forward facing…the thing is I have lost the instruction booklet and have no idea how to fit it in forward facing, the picture on the side of the car seat only shows how to fit it rear facing without the base.




5 states have banned restraining pregnant prisoners during child birth, NY may soon be the 6th. Some prisoners are also suing because they were restrained during child birth. I personally do not see the problem with the restraints, as long as they don’t harm the child. I’m just interested in what people think about this. Always good to see things from other people’s perspectives.

Is anyone else not child-friendly?




Honestly, I can’t stand babies or little kids. When someone comes up to me and wants me to look at their baby, I want to say something like, "You reproduced, I see. Um, go team!"

As for little kids, I would love to make and market a line of muzzles for children that would come with restraints and leashes. A well-behaved child is a rarity.

recommendations for convertible car seats!?




My daughter has a graco carrier car seat right now, but a month ago at her 6 month check up she was 28.5 in and 19 lbs. Her car seat only goes to 29 in and 22 lbs. So I know it is now time for a new car seat! I am interested in the convertible car seats since she has still face backwards for 5 more months. If anyone has any suggestions for a good car seat I would gladly appreciate it because I am not sure what to get! Thanks :)




Trying to determine if we should use the car seat or get the CARES, the Child Aviation Restraint System. Our son is a big kid; almost 30 lbs. I am wondering how easy it is to put a car seat in an airplane seat. Suggestions and recommendations welcome.

(I understand children under 2 years old can sit on an adult’s lap; but I’ve done all the research. My child’s well being is certainly worth the additional plane ticket)

When I was about 13, if I teased the cat, she would turn on me and tear me up with her claws. Okay, fair fight, I don’t have a problem with that.
When my little sister (about five) pulled the cat’s tail, the cat just tried to get away with a little dignity but did not beat up the little girl.
Do cats view human children as kittens and refrain from beating the crap out of them, the way they would an adult human or an adult cat?




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?

Box Dimensions for a Graco Snugride Car Seat…?




As odd as this may sound…does anyone happen to know the box dimensions for any standard Graco Snugride car seat? I have searched and searched and can only find the dimensions for just the car seat and base. I need the boxes dimensions for shipping reasons….
Let me just add….hubby and I are stationed in Germany…so unfortunately it is too expensive for us to call a retailer in the US.

I was wondering if the Evenflo car seat would fit in a Graco stroller? I was given a used car seat by my sister in law and it expires this December.

This is the stroller:

how do i secure my child in a papoose restraint?







He resists against taking medicine.Can any body show me how I can give his medicine by force and individually? If you can show me by a short video, I will be happy.
Note that only force feeding method works. But I’m lonely and don’t know how I can restraint him by only two hands!
Thanks
