Nuna the 360 one

We just bought the britax for our 2 year old for safety ratings and easy install 💪🏼

is the nuna comfortable for your baby ?

I have a Graco TriRide but I’m upgrading to a Britax

Diono. Super safe

for the britax what’s the weight limit?

Graco slim fit

Graco Extend2Fit 2in1. We’re keeping her rear facing as long as possible and maxing out the seat.

Graco Extend2 fit. I have four and love them.

Diono radian. Feels so sturdy, it's airplane safe (for the little ones too small to sit in their seat on their own), and the cover is so easy to remove to clean. We also have the backpack style travel bag, as we went on a cruise and had multiple flights but didn't want to carry it in our arms.

I have the evenflo gold every stage smart all in convertible car seat

We’ve only ever purchased Britax car seats. They always go above and beyond the law’s requirements for safety, and they’re steel reinforced. We have our almost-2-year-old (on Saturday!!) in a One4Life. The Britax infant seat she used is now being used by her little brother.

I did a LOT of research before our babes were born for car seat safety. Britax. All the way.

Graco slimfit

My girl is in a Graco Extend2Fit for the high rear facing weight and height limit. She was in a Britax One4Life before but it broke when I was cleaning the cover and got a good deal on the Extend2Fit. Like both for the high rear facing limits as she will be rear facing as long as possible. The Graco straps at a little easier to tighten. The Britax I found took a long time to break in the straps so it was easy to tighten. I think the Extend2Fit is going to be more comfortable for her long term with the pullout to give more leg room

We love graco seats! They seem to be the gold standard when it comes to baby products💁🏼‍♀️

Nuna Rava

We have the Graco Slimfit 3 in 1. It's rear and front facing plus it fits 5lbs-100lbs and the warranty is good for 10 years.

We have the Graco 4ever DLX. It’s a 4 in 1 and we love it!

Graico

Evenflo revolve 360 gold

Thank y’all so much for the help! I really appreciate all the feedback ! 💕

Am I crazy for wanting to do the drive again?

So Friday we drove 2 1/2 hours away to spend the weekend away with my parents. Came back yesterday and the fridge and freezer had been off the whole weekend so that really stressed me out as we did a big shop before we left (even though I was adamant I didn’t want to 😒) anyway the kids are WILD today. I have a 1 and 3 year old and they just have not stopped. The house is just a mess with our bags,my partner put a food bag on the kitchen counter which leaked oil EVERYWHERE. Just little things adding up and I’m itching to get out the house. Where we live there’s nothing here for kids so now I’m debating getting us in the car and driving 2 hours away to see my mum and nan 😅 I literally don’t know what to do with myself,my partners on night shifts so he’s obviously asleep in the day and we don’t see him at night. Just need someone to tell me if I’m being crazy for wanting to do the drive

Am I overthinking ?

Hi mamas. Yesterday I took my 3 year old son to meet with a potential new babysitter at her in home daycare. I was looking for him to attend 3 days a week while I work.
When we arrived, my son was only 10 minutes into a nap, but he woke up fine and was very excited. He played with the other 2 children that were there, (ages 4 & 2 1/2), and checked out the fish tank with the other kids. The lady was really nice and we chatted about her schedule, day to day activities, etc. She said that my selected days were perfect, and that she’d send all paperwork and info to me to sign and give back to her. She does have an 8 mo old baby, and my son did bring him toys and tickled the baby for a moment, which she laughed at. Shortly after, another child hit the fish-tank with their hand, and then my child did the same a few times. I corrected him each time and redirected him. When it was time to leave, he was running from me and didn’t want go, (which I thought was a good sign) and I went to pick him up and he fell back and hit his head on her coffee table. Those were the only things that happened during the visit. Overall, I was happy with the environment and we said we’d see her Monday.
I get home last night and get this message… am I wrong to be put off by her working? Because I am not sure what made her come to that conclusion. Maybe im overthinking it.

Am I a drama queen?

8-month pregnant, I stay at home and my husband works in a demanding field. He literally spend weekends on the couch, on his phone. Whines when we have to go out for errands, throw the bin away, or set some things for the baby. He doesn’t help me at home whatsoever. I feel like he’s totally uninvested and this breaks my heart. We have no sexy time. No romantic moments. When I’m getting too mad or complaining, he says that I just want to vent to annoy him.
I really don’t see myself like this in the future… HELP 😔

It’s so hard to chat with a mom on here when they literally disagree with everything you say in a sort of passive aggressive way.

For example, we’re just trying to get to know each other and I just mentioned that my kids go to school except for my youngest who stays home with me. And she’s like “oh well we home school I could never send my kids to school”
Which is fine I get it. I support all means of education.
But then I’m like “I like to go work out at the gym a couple evenings a week while my husband watches the kids”
And she’s like “oh I don’t like leaving my husband with more to do after he already worked all day”
And then I mention my 4 year old is watching bluey while I take a quick break. And she’s like “oh we don’t do tv in our house”.

It feels like literally anything I have to say is immediately negated and judged.

In home daycares or facility daycares?

Up until now, my almost 2 year old has only ever been watched by family. Now our situation has changed and we need to start looking into daycare for her, but I honestly have no idea where to begin! What do you Mamas prefer and why?

Meals for 6 month old

I started weaning my little one at 5 months. We started off with just 1 vegetable a day and gradually started to introduce another one in with it. Weaning has been going really well but I am now wanting to go from just vegetables to pureed meals. My baby will be 7 months this month. I just wondered did people make their own sauces for like curry and bolognaise, or did you buy jars. If you got jars what was the best ones to go for as I know I need to get low salt content. Thank you
