Looking to buy either a new 325 or 330 and want to know if an infant car seat will fit in the car while still being able to sit comfortably in the front seat.
I was at the market earlier and saw a couple drive up..with an infant in the moms lap (she was the front seat passenger in a truck) I get soooo mad when I see this!!! I mean a car seat is not expensive, and if you can’t afford one most police stations will give you one. So of all the days to leave my cell at home, I had to pick the day I see this poor baby being so dangerously neglected..So not being able to let this go, I walked over to the security guard and let her know..and suggested that she have an officer near by when the couple left..that way they could be fined, or told how completely dangerous and illegal this is..but the security guard just said she did not want to be involved..I really hope that poor baby makes it home safely..What makes it even worse is the mom and dad were both wearing safety belts…how completely selfish!!! So was I over reacting? The security guard looked very annoyed..and what would you fellow moms and dads have done?
LOL:suggested category sports-horse racing??
I understand what your saying about breastfeeding..I breastfed ALL five of my babies, and I also would breastfeed in the car at the market..or anywhere else for that matter..however I did not ever take them out of the carseat while the car was moving..sorry. Regardless of that fact..that was not the case here..I watched them pull in off of the main street and park..all the while the poor baby was in the moms lap.
I’m sorry, but unless you’ve ever been stuck in the mall, with a screaming child,(probably because it’s the first time you’ve left the house in a week!) who just wants to nurse, then I don’t think you can tell us what to do.
Breastfeeding is natural. Especially when it’s discreet. Most breastfeeding moms that I have ever met, don’t whip anything out. They are mortified that it’s time, that they are stuck with only a single baby blanket to cover up and then some jerk starts leering. Breastfeeding your child is the healthiest thing to do in the world and shouldn’t be shunned into unsanitary stalls in mall bathrooms.
My son nursed so much and so often (never ever ever took a bottle) that I could barely leave the house. I nursed him in a sling as I did my grocery shopping, nobody noticed. I nursed him in the front seat of my parked car, nobody noticed.
I nursed him when he was hungry, no matter what. That’s a mom’s job!
What do you think?
lately ive been having extreamly weird realistic dreams. Lat night i was sleeping in my car which i often do. it took me a while to get to sleep in the first place i was just reading my msgs on my phone.
i had a dream that i was lying in my car and a man was walking down the road towards my car. i hid under the covers and he walked up to the car and taped on my window. i told him to go away or something. he was asian and has brown dreadlocks. he told me he wanted to sleep with me and i said no. i made sure all of the doors were locked and went back to sleep. when i woke i saw him sitting in the front seat of my car. when i woke to see him i didnt know if it was a dream or real. i told him to get out again and for some reason he had my keys so i got them off him and kicked him out. i cant remember bits inbetween but i remember yelling out to my mum and step dad who were inside my house although i was in my car in the drive way. but nothing would come out of my mouth. i was screaming but no one would help. then i suddenly noticed my parents were on the road next to me unpacking shopping or something. i told them the random man wanted to rape me and they kind of just laughed and talked to the guy as if he was their friend but id never met this man ever before. he was only young and quiet nice but he was still trying to rape me. My older brother also came out of his room which he no longer lives in with a whole group of his friends and other people that i rekognise but dont know. i cant remember what happened when they were there. then all of a sudden my vision blurred and change from my eyes to my step fathers eyes. I was looking from his bedroom onto the street where my car was and watching myself get raped from his eyes through blinds.
theyre are some more blank spots and then i recall looking at my phone and seeing that it was only about 7 pm. but i went to bed at about 12 oclock. another girl somehow appeared in my car and then they were lots of people some how dancing in the back of my car with a strobe light. they disapeared and i asked the girl if she had the same time as me. she said yes and that she thought it was weird to because she also thought i was alot later the that. my mum then came out to my car and was winding up the back window of my car. i also asked her whatthe time was and she told me it was around 8 and that i was being silly. There are many other strange things that happened in this dream and many blank spots. i kept sleeping and waking in the dream but waking into that same dream again. it felt so weird but so real. when i actually woke up i was so scared. i found my phone, checked the time. it was 3 am. i ran inside as fast as i could because i truely belived that the man was still there. i told my step dad the whole dream and then sat in my room and watched tv to scared to go back to sleep.
a then fell asleep and had another strage dream that i was surfing and a really stange looking beach with my friend and my brother…i then went back to a tribal looking place and people were trying to poison me with darts. they wanted to cut my head off or something. but this second dream wasnt as graphic and realistic as the first so it didnt scare me as much. i also cant remember it very well. ive had other realistic dreams a few weeks ago when one of my best friends tapped on my window and woke me up, i got out and said hello then went back to sleep. another mate then tapped on my window and i got out and said hello. when i woke up the next morning the first friend said she didnt do it and wasnt there and the other friends said that he actually was there. sooooo….im a bit freaked out at the moment. i never use to have strange dreams but lately i do.
i d really like to know if they mean anything important…..
i just hope im not crazy or anything! haha
cheers…
We are having a baby tomorrow, and have a Safety 1st Car Seat and a 1989 Camaro. The seat can go in the back passenger side, but the front seat touches the carseat no matter how far forward it is. We wouldn’t use the front seat with the car seat behind it, but would it be safer to put the seat in the front? (Rear facing, no airbags, as far back as possible?) Ir to take out the front seat completely? Thanks for your input!
We are not preggo yet, but my husband has a Ford Ranger Pickup. It’s one of those with the backseat that has the fold-down seats. Obviously we wouldn’t be placing a car seat in the backseat, but I’m concerned about front seat placement. Has anyone had this issue before? I hate to ask him to sell it, unless it’s unsafe for a child. I don’t think it would be safe. It does have a passenger side air bag cut off switch though..what do you think?
I have a 3 1/2 yr old and a 2 year old. They are getting big, and usually walk, but it is nice to have a stroller on long walks, or at disneyland etc.
Right now we have a double stroller that my mom found at a garage sale for 10 dollars. It is a duo glider. It is fine, but the front seat is not good for sleeping in because there is no head rest and it doesnt really recline much. It is hard for the kids to get in and out of the back seat, and it doesnt steer really well.
My friends have side by side strollers and love them (not jogging strollers though) One friend has a peg perego stroller, and I saw one on craigslist…
What have you tried? Do you like them?
I am looking at buying a travel system that includes an infant carseat, carseat base, and stroller. I have read hundreds of reviews but I’m still lost. I will put my wish list/concerns on here, and if you know of a model that would work well for my situation please let me know.
Wants:
1.Safety-a sturdy car seat with a good crash test rating
2.Compact-I drive a small chevy cavalier and need to make sure the car seat will fit comfortably in my back seat while still allowing a passenger to ride in the front seat…and I need to make sure the stroller will fit in my small trunk.
3.Good design-I want a travel system that is user-friendly..has good features like it is easy to fold, manuvers well, etc.
Any suggestions?? Thanks so much!!
can i use a 5 point harness seat like she is in now for when she is 40- 80 pounds, also can you use a booster in the front seat we have shoulder belts there, no air bags in the car(s)we own
We have a Safety First all-in-one deluxe convertible car seat. This is a picture of it

We installed it for the first time in our car tonight. It takes up SOOO much room. We have it in the middle (for the safety) and if we wanted to put it behind the drivers or passenger seat then we would be sitting SO close to the windshield. Has anyone else experience this with their convertible car seats? Maybe we are installing it wrong? We followed the directions of the owners manual. I just don’t understand why it is SO big. Almost like you need a big enough car to fit it in. I thought that they ALL fit into ANY vehicle? Any ideas of what may be wrong? By the way, we have a Kia Sportage…it is a small SUV but you would think it would be big enough to use this car seat.
Here is a picture of what our front seat looks like with the car seat in the back…

Ugh, I wish that I could return it. Unfortunately I cannot because I don’t have the receipt and it would be WAY past the date that they give you to return it by. I got it as a shower gift. It was 0.00. Stupidly, I registered for it…without thinking about whether or not it would fit 
Errr….
My son will be 7mos old next friday (15th) and I’m wondering when i could start putting him in the front of the shopping cart? I wanted to buy one of those infantino shopping cart covers, cause he is still a little wiggly, so all the padding should keep him from tilting to the sides! I’ve seen other babies in them, and they look smaller and younger than my carson baby. He’s a big boy, very healthy. I’m just sorta tired of luggin the car seat in w/ me, and thought he should be getting close if not now to being able to sit in that front seat for when we go grocery shopping or something. At home, he can’t quite sit up on his own unsupported yet, maybe for 15sec but thats about it. Help…
Hello, I drive 2000 Buick Le Sabre Custom. It has the bench seats in the front and back. I was wondering if their was any way to remove the extra seat belt from the front seat. I’m sick of always having to stuff it under the center console and both front seats. I think it would look more organized, as well.
My mom has a 2003 Honda Pilot, airbag wise it has 4. The airbags r the dashboard airbags and torso airbags in the front seat, there r no curtain airbags for your head. I am trying to convince her to buy a new car but she says she feels safer in her Pilot than she would in a 2010 Honda Accord or 2010 Toyota Camry (i know they have been recalled) because of the height difference. What is truly safer? 2010 models have more airbags and more modern safety equipment, but the Pilot does have height advantages over a car. HELP?!?!?!

I have a logistical nightmare. We’re in the Netherlands and moving house. For which i need to hire a van. We have a toddler (1.5 years). The van will only have front seats. So is it possible to travel with the toddler in his forward facing maxi cosi - fitted onto the front seat?
Thanks
