Car Seat šŸ’ŗā€¦

HELLOOOOO!

what car seat does everyone have for their LO?

i’m presuming you no longer use the infant carrier or not as much if you do??

what compliance does your car seat follow?

is it isofix?

is it 360?

how much was it?

did you do your research before buying or did you get in store advice?

where did you purchase it?

(i’m asking because of a facebook group, i find it quite toxic & negative & find they recommend the same exact car seat to everyone which is a good Ā£400/500, or for a certain compliance is Ā£200 minimum).

just curious😊.

I have a maxi cosi coral which goes on a familyfix3 base. They sell for like £300 but I got mine second hand. I researched it and it fits onto my maxi cosi Pram too.

We got ours from smyths, I can't remember the name but it's a 360, safest model they do, can either be seat belted or isofix with seat belt anchor in the boot. My boy loves it, we recline him for long drives or if he's tired

i’m talking after they grow out of the infant car seat, but that looks good & well protected, mine was quite basic as it came in my travel system & because it was soooo expensive as it was, i didn’t upgrade my infant car seat !

snapppp!! we brought that one today! how is it?? we haven’t used it yet… i dont drive at the moment so i’ll be moving it from car to car (not often) 😩. i know it’s on the heavier side as i lifted it in the shop, but it’s doable ! x

@~SherissešŸ¦‹ my son LOVES it! He screamed the entire time in his infant carrier which made journeys really difficult. With this one he can see out the window and loves watching the world go by. We lie him back a bit when we're doing the 200 mile drive to my grandma's or we need him to sleep in the car. So easy to put him in and out as well

amazingggg, thank you so muchhh! i’m excited to put my girl in it!!x

@~SherissešŸ¦‹ you're more than welcome! He was like a new baby on car journeys, we got him a back seat mirror so we could keep an eye on him but he uses it to watch things going by šŸ˜‚ x

that’s tooo cute, bless him🄹 x

@kat it can be seat belted in as it has the seat belt points, it just stops the seat from spinning and becomes a regular car seat. If you look at the other photos of that model you can see the green seat belt points šŸ™‚ we were also shown how to install it both ways by the staff at smyths x

my girl is quite long but dinky, i haven’t opened it yet, i don’t exactly have the money to be spending Ā£500 on a car seat, being a single mama (although her dads still involved & buys most things) & a student. i’ll look into this a bit more. but thank you for your reply ā˜ŗļø.

amazing, i’ll look into them, thank you!

Am i the only one?

Hi Mums, this is the first time i will be openly speaking about this because ive been trying to push it back or hide it but i need to know if this is normal?

My baby boy is almost 7 months ols. We had a really difficult time in NICU for a week when he was born and i was also in the hospitalbed. I feel like since im home i havent been able to to complety chill the fuck out. I am always on alert, i feel like i cant rest. I have no friends or family here. My baby is exclusively breastfed and will not drink outside of his bedroom so when we go outside i always have to rush to get back home when he cries. The furthest ive been is 10 mins from home. Havent sat down at a cafe or restaurant. Just shops like sainsbury and b&m. I feel like my everyday is the same routine. Wake up play with him have a walk for a bit go shops and come home put him to bed, clean and sleep. I dont have time to make myself look nice. When will my life be normal? Im so scared this is my life now. I have no one to talk about this. I cant imagine going to the city centre with him it will be madness. Please, does anyone else have a similar situation? HELP. xx a really tired exhausted mum.

Funny EC Moment

So my sister visited yesterday and I didn’t think much of it when I went to offer the potty to my 12 week old. She walked into the hallway and sees me holding my baby essentially in the toilet bowl and asked ā€œWhat the hell are you doing?!ā€ I’ve never considered what it looked like up until that point so I asked her to take a photo of what she saw. It does kind of look like I’m flushing him lol. She thinks that it’s too early to be doing anything like this but I’m confident in my decision as he does go potty, I am getting catches, and he’s even started copying the grunting noise I do now. Just a silly little moment

I peaked šŸ˜”

I got really angry at my 4 year old, threw the tooth brush and stormed out of the room. He went to bed crying and I didn’t go to him.

He came out of his room crying at one point and begged me to come back, but I sat him on my lap, hugged him and explained I’m too angry to go back into the room to put him to sleep. He begged me crying again over and over, and I just kept saying I loved him, we’re still best friends, but I can’t come back in. He then kicked me, so I shut the door and let him cry himself to sleep.

I know this horrible and I feel like the worst person. I know I’m going to wake up tomorrow with the worst feelings and guilt, but right now, I’m so fucking fed up of this life. Everything is a battle, there is never a time we can just do the thing and today it peaked for me.

Just ranting

Weaning

So I thought at 6 months it was just about taste etc so I’ve been doing Ella’s kitchen pouches & he tried avocado.
He is happy to be spoon fed & loves attempting to throw the bowl across the room.

I didn’t realise I should be on my way to breakfast lunch & dinner….

Any advice?? I feel like I’m letting my baby down and putting him behind

Leaving son's father

My son is 8 months old and his dad choked me out, then picked me up and dropped me on the ground this morning.. I am so shocked and upset.. it started as an argument and insults.. he pushed me, I hit him he dropped me to the floor and that's when what I stated above happened. All of my family is 22hrs away, I only work once a week, he doesn't give me any money. He is also financially abusive, works literally all the time yet always tells me there is no money.(wouldn't even buy me tampons) I get no help, respect, acknowledgement for all I do in our home and for our son. I was willing to stick with him through everything until this morning. That is my line.. idk what to do. he has always wanted to be a dad and I dont want to take that from him but I just can't do this.. any advice helps a lot.. tyšŸ™ƒ

How do you feel about your other half/husband/childs father being drunk around 4 year old in the afternoon? Like literally falling asleep beside him on the couch
