I leave my 3 year old toddler with my husbands parents when i go to work. they are always arguing with each other all the time and sometimes it gets physical. what shall i do. i cant afford to put him in nursery and i cant afford to leave my job. what shall i do?
Does anyone else see parents driving around with no car seats? I saw a van full of kids from about 3 months to 6 years and not one was in a car seat!! I called 911! What the hell is wrong with people! You don’t have to buy a 0.00 Britax, just buy an effin car seat! I’m trying to talk to my congressman about stiff penalties for breaking this law. What do you think?
I honestly think that there should be a car seat registry. If you have a child that requires a car seat then you should have to register it with you state every 6 months. If you fail to regisiter an approriate seat then your liscense should be suspended until it is regisitered. It may seem like a long, repeatitive process but if it saves one child life is it not worth it? How much would that computer prgram cost with an automatic 800 number. Sounds like a step in the right direction to me!
What infant carrier can be a front and back carrier? Which one is the best? By front and back I mean a carrier that can be placed on the parents front or back. Not the way the baby faces. Thanks.
Did you see how she was holding the baby and looking everywhere? You can’t blame her, but her parents should be more responsible.
Lady B: I await them. I expect many.
I pick up someone’s kids from daycare once a week and bring them home to feed them dinner, etc.
The parents gave me an Eddie Bauer car seat that expired in 2002, the fabric is falling off and the hooks to put it back on are actually broken off, and the straps are twisted beyond straightening. This is the seat they gave me for their 2 year old. I told them I had my own high back booster for their 5 year old.
Needless to say, I returned the POS seat and said I couldn’t get it safely installed by the car seat technician and was able to get a Britax seat from a relative (true story). However, since this happened- my Britax seat expired.
If I get into an accident, can I get ticketed for using an expired seat, even if it’s newly expired? And who should be providing the new seat? Or no one?
Thanks!
What’s so frustrating is that they’ve got a Britax Roundabout sitting in their garage… it’s been there for months.
When our second baby arrives in July, our little girl will almost be 2 years old. We need a double stroller, but we are so confused about what to get.
We would like something that will hold a Peg Perego infant car seat. We would also like something suitable and comfortable enough for long (3-5 mile) walks around our neighborhood. The Joovy Caboose looks awesome, but the back seat may not be the most comfy for the 2-year old for extended walks. Also, our neighborhood has hills so we need something easy to maneuver on hills. We don’t go shopping a lot, but when we do we would like something that’s fairly easy to maneuver. Any suggestions from experienced parents would be greatly appreciated!
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…
A cop pulled me over for speeding, but I started crying and instead of giving me a speeding ticket, he gave me a ticket for a "seat belt violation". I was wearing my seat belt, I guess he just made that up to give me the smallest violation.
I am 18 and have never had any tickets or anything before. I have Geico insurance and my car is registered under my parents’ name.
My question is… will this affect my insurance rates, and is there any way my parents can find out? Assuming I pay it on time?
I live in MD!
My daughter is 18 months old and I’m curious when I should get her a toddler bed? I know she’s a little young yet, but I was wondering when other parents made this transition and how it worked out?
I’ve been looking at Britax, Chicco, Graco, Safety First and I can’t decide which one I like best. So I’m asking the parents out there, which car seat do you think is the safest? Please no rude answers, thank you.
I have shown him the different sites that prove that the carseat we have for our son is not safe, yet he refuses to buy another one. He just says that I shouldn’t believe everything I read. I’m so upset about this because I feel like every time we put him in the car in that seat we’re endangering his safety and not doing our job as parents to do whatever we can to protect our baby. How can I get through to him and make him understand that no amount of money should prevent us from protecting our child the best we possibly can?
We’ve just had a huge fight about this and I told him that our baby is NOT riding in that carseat again, and all he said was "Yea, okay" I feel like he doesn’t even care whether our son is safe or not!
Yeah, we’re married, we share a bank acct., and we can afford it, but he’s just stubborn and refused to believe that these reports are accurate. His reasoning is "well why would the hospital give them out" (they gave the evenflo discovery [same model, similar style as ours] to some people we know)
I’m 17 and trying to convince my parents to get a used 1985 supra. But so far the only halfway decent reason I have for convincing them to get it is that it has 2 seats so I won’t be able to go over the maximum amount of people I’m legally allowed to have in my car.
Anything else useful? Like crash test rating or gas mileage?
I’ll take anything. Tell me something halfway unique to this car and I’ll try and find a way to put a positive spin on it.
A question (a very ignorant one, if you saw it!) has just got me thinking about the thing that is of course the worst nightmare for us parents, so thought I’d ask a couple of things.
When does the risk of SIDS go away completely? Does it ever?
What are the chances of SIDS in a 10 month old, and over? Does anybody have the actual statistics?
If a parent was fortunate enough to find their baby in the crucial moments after they stopped breathing, what could that parent do? Can anybody explain to me how to resuscitate a baby/child if they stopped breathing?
Also, not related to SIDS, but if a baby chokes, is it correct to bend them over and hit them hard on the back until the object flies out? Can anybody give me more information on this? Is it ever worth taking the seconds to call an ambulance if this happens, or by the time the ambulance got there would it be too late?
I’m just always paranoid I don’t know enough about health and safety. I think I will see if I can take a course on it in my area. But any info anybody has about anything related to this in the meantime, will be much appreciated!
I mean obviously you can,but is it easy and worth it to get rid of my travel system stroller?I got a jogging stroller,but was wondering if I could just use it full time and get rid of the other stroller,or would it be too much of a hassle?
Haha,my parents got us a jogging stroller for my baby’s birthday 
I need advice from parents of twins or two young ones. I have a 1yr old with a little one on the way (due in a month). Therefore I will have a toddler and an infant. We want them to ride together, but that would mean our Eddie Bauer carseat has to fit in the duo stroller we pick. I’m pretty sure it would fit in the Eddie Bauer stoller, but I also like the Peg Perego Aria Twin 60/40 (I’m hoping it would fit in that one). I’m not sure which one to pick so I need experienced opinions. Thoughts on other strollers are welcome as well. I do NOT want to spend over 0 on a stroller….just FYI.
