My daughter is 10 months old, but 33 inches long, and 21 pounds! Her little legs seem to have to bend a lot to fit in the rear facing car seat. She wears a 2T top, and he Easter dress was a 2T, and she is wicked long!

Isn’t it a bigger safety concern to have her legs bent in case of an accident than to turn her convertible car seat into a forward facing one?

Thoughts????

Today is the first day that I am picking up the kids from day care without using a baby carrier for the little one and I am not sure how to go about it. My son is 2.5 years old and my daughter is 10 months. What is the best way to get them both into the car and strapped in, without leaving one unattended, or giving the toddler the chance to run away?
This is not a control thing, 2 year olds can bolt at any time, even if you tell them not to. That’s how they are.

my boyfriend and i attended a baby safety class today and i just wanted to share some helpful information with all the parents.

Walkers are banned in a few stated and illegal in canada due to development delays. a baby that uses a walker on a regular basis is most likely to be bow legged and walk on tippy toes. it also slows the development of abdominal and back muscles. the teacher said the seat (the part of fabric that goes between babys legs) is not very comfortable and could cause the bowleggedness. he said its like if we would walk around with a pillow between our legs…now very comfy lol. it would cause the baby to walk on its tippy toes because if you have seen a baby in a walker you have seen that all the do is push/pull them selves around with their toes. a baby is ready to walk at around 10 months. when they start to pull up on things is when they are getting ready to walk. putting a 5 month old in a walker would just slow the process. IF you choose to use a walker, use it for no more than 20 minutes per day.

the bumbo seat is recalled. they still sell it in stores because people buy them. along with most other recalled item. not all of them are taken out of stores because people continue to buy them. check this website for recalled items. http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/category/child.html

for the first year of a babys life, the only thing that should be in a crib is the fitted sheet and the baby. bumpers and comforters should not be used. for more information on comforters and bumper safety go to www.aap.org/policy/re9946.html

i thought this information would be helpful. if any of you find some of this information false, i apologies…im just telling you what i heard and what is on the information packet that was handed out.

This morning myself and my children were in a pretty bad wreck where the guy hit us coming off the interstate at full speed. We are all shaken up, but physically just sore. My kids ages 4 years & 10 months are all in one piece thanks to their Britax seats, thank goodness.

My van is a goner and I know I have to replace my kids’ seats as well. Will this guys insurance cover my kids Britax seats? I know by law they have to pay for other seats, but will they cover over 0.00 for Britax? I want my kids to be in the same seats. My infant daughter was in a roundabout and my 4 year old son was in a brand new (purchased last month) Marathon. I have receipts for neither, because the roundabout was my sons and was purchased 3 years ago so that recpt. is long gone. The Marathon was purchased NEW sealed in the box from a carseat seller on eBay. I have the payapl invoice for it from last month, but no "real" recpt.

The doctor told me when she is one and over 20lbs, well she is 10 months and over 20lbs, why is it that they tell you to wait tilll they are one yr old too? Shouldn’t the weight be enough? Or does something automatically happen to their bodies when they turn one?

Well, the carrying around has helped me lose pregnancy fat from my arms, so it’s great.
What age was your baby when you stopped using the infant carrier/car seat?

I use it when I go grocery shopping, and keep her in it and put it in the grocery cart.

She is 10 months old and still fits very well in it, she’s kinda small, so I’m just wondering when did you stop using it?

Charianna 9.5 y/o: completely out of a stroller!
Danielle 8 y/o: completely out of stroller also!
Scarlett 6 y/o: completely out except 4 naps!
Anabella 4 y/o twin: same as Scarlett
Ansley 4 y/o twin: same as Anabella & Scarlet
Gabriella 2 y/o: still in stroller!
Kingston 10 months twin: still in stroller!
Kelsey Marie 10 months twin: still in stroller
Those are my kids names and ages. I push around a quad-stroller around right now! But I’m due to have a baby soon (about 2-3 months). I’m usually REALLY early. Anyway, what size stroller do I need, because by the time I have this next baby the twins will only be 1 y/o. And Gabriella might still sit in there sometimes. Do you think I need a sextuplet stroller, stick with the quad, or just buy a single stroller and make the other ones walk! (i feel evil!) Thanks.
No none of them were adopted.

my son is 10 months and 21 pounds - he is still in the infant seat.

the seat can go up to 30 pounds - but his feet are starting to be to the edge of the seat.

i’m looking at britax seats - and they are front and rear facing. when i switch him, few questions - how soon can i do it? does he have to be rear facing? he sits up fine on his own. anything else i need to know?

Ahh I never thought finding the right car seat could be such a challenge. Until now I’ve been using an Alpha Omega car seat that was given to me..and I HATE it. So much in fact that I’m considering torching it on our front lawn once I have a replacement for it. LOL. Anyways, the car seat I’m considering is this one

http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp?postal=l4g3g8&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441895303&bmForm=form_set_price_list&bmFormID=1220014519217&bmUID=1220014519217&bmHash=dcbd5a14ede12fb819688774b6b02e8b19c891c4

Anyone else have this one? The reviews seem to be pretty good for it but I’d like some feedback from people on here who have this or have used it. Thanks. Any recommendations for other good car seats would be appreciated too.

I need something comfortable for my baby (she’s 10 months old and about 22 pounds) Something she can grow with and something that has easily adjusted straps so I can adjust it to what she is wearing. That is my biggest beef with the car seat I currently have. The straps are HORRIBLE. They twist and are very hard to adjust. I need a car seat that is easy to use.

edit: I posted this question a half hour ago but it never appeared. Ripped off for 5 points !
