Spent easter Sunday with my grandparents who havent had a baby in well over fourty years and i felt like they kept picking at my parenting when i was trying to take care of my lo and on our way out i was having my husband strap our lo into a carseat and my grandma said when she was a mother they didnt have these fancy car seats and all 5 of her kids are still alive and have kids of their own like almost saying "oh she doesnt need that thing." God its irritating when older people say stuff like that ive heard it twice. Yes children need car seats its not safe! Ive even heard people be like oh when it was the 50s and i was on a car trip with family id just feed our little one on my lap. Like ahhhh. O.O How did parents back then think that was safe? Youre in a moving vehicle!
The number of cars on the road in the ‘50’s does not come close to the amount now!!! I would respond along the lines of, “Do you know how many fewer children die in car accidents now that we have these seats?!!”
I like to tell people "when you know better, you do better" 😂😂 it's okay mama, don't let them get to you. You're doing great. 😘
Any Mommy's know which car seats are safe to buy?? Cause I have heard recalls on car seats, I want our son to be safe. 🤔🤔😳
OT. rant! forward facing early
ok, so in my birth month forum (October 2012) someone posted a picture of their lo riding in the car in a forward facing seat! what???? it baffles me when parents do this. I'm not trying to offend anyone.. but why do ppl do this?? the oldest baby in our birth month is 9 months, she was 3 months premature. but even at 9 months I wouldn't have my child forward facing.
When should I change to a high back booster? So my son is 5&1/2 years old and about 55lbs. He still in a 5 point harness car seat. When should I change him to the high back booster seat? I have the graco 3 in one seat.


So I got rid of my spacious Chevy Impala and now have a compact Hyundai Elantra. I’m trying to figure out which car seat would fit best in a smaller car.?? The car seat will go behind the passenger so there will be a little more room to move the front seat up.

are these safe im in love with this my daughters car seat is originally green...
My daughter is 6m old and weve been introducing her to eating on her own with us monitoring while she holds her own bottle and my grandma said that children these days need held until their 9 years old or no room on the lap. I tried to explain that we bond with our daughter through interactive play times and feeding is meal time where we monitor how many ounces she intakes plus baby food and for allergic reactions so that she can start to understand a sense of self apart from me. She completely ignored me and said that it wasnt good for her. I think my husband and i know whats best for MY child. We went through wayyy too many parenting courses and my husband is a retired pediatric hospice nurse who knows medical. People are just rude and need to back off.
