We got the Babybee pram and mothers choice car capsule because it’s compatible with the pram :)

We were recommended the upperbaby pram, partly because we are tall, and the maxi cosi mico 12 capsule.
With adaptors, they will fit together, and we discussed the benefits of having a capsule.
Though, may regret all of this once she is here and we are using it all 😂

I'm so interested in these answers too!

I got the baby bee duo after hearing feedback from my friends… the upper baby pram was another one mentioned but a bit more expensive!

I have had so many friends buy the babybee, but I got told the seat was quite low and the basket not that big. As my husband and I are quite tall, I was a little worried. How have you found it.

my baby is due in Dec so haven’t used it apart from taking it for a test run on the drive way… I can’t comment on the seat positioning, but I thought the basket was plenty big enough, I guess it depends what your planning on storing in it! My partner is quite tall and he didn’t seem concerned when he was pushing it around, that’s just my experience though

thanks for your response. I'm due in December too, so I'm just thinking about it now.

I agree with , I have the duo 3 and I thought the basket space was pretty big (they advertise it as xxl). My husband is 6”2 and he likes it- the handlebars are adjustable in height

We got the reds baby Jive5 pram, both my sisters have this and love it!
It also has the option for adaptors for a maxi cosy capsule.
(but I have decided to wait to see how big baby is before buying this as I don’t know if it’ll be necessary for me ! )

And for car seat we went with the Britax safe n sound graphene+ convertible car seat in black opal
I went into baby bunting and spoke to the lady there and she recommended this one because I have a SUV and my partner has a Sedan and this seat will work and be interchangeable between both cars 🩷🩷🩵🩵🥰🥰

I've got the uppa baby vista pram on layby at baby bunting. Came with a bunch of recommendations from friends. The main one being it's compatible with alot of car capsules, and has the ability to transform into a double pram for round 2. Have heard the reds pram is on par, but I couldn't trial it in person...
The staff at baby bunting were super helpful with explaining car seat choices. At the end of the day they're all up to Australian safety standards. We went with a mid range one with a few extra features. They also install it.
Highly recommend layby at baby bunting- if they have a sale you can ask them to match your layby product to the sale price and every $200 you spend gets you a $10 reward.
No I don't work for them 😅 just found them super helpful when I had no idea where to start with car seats.

Long trip?

Hey , we’re going on holiday to the coast 3.5 hrs away in a couple months and my 2 year old is toilet trained but wears pull ups at nap and bed time. Sometimes she will do a little dribble in her pants on her way to the loo but generally she does well
My concern is the road trip, do I put her in a pull ups at or hope that she can hold out till we stop?
It’s going to be tricky washing and drying the car seat on holiday so I’m wondering what other people do, I’m worried the pull up for the car might confuse her!

How would you interpret the phrase “at times, it appears they are working together in ways that are unsafe for others.”

In reference to a set of 4.5 year old twins, in an email from their teachers (the first time they’ve reached out about any type of physical incident with another child).

Do you think the teachers mean the twins are teaming up to intentionally be “unsafe” to others?

Toys at grandparents home

Just wondering if Im being weird about this?
My MIL lives about 15 mins away I take our daughter there quite a bit, she has nothing kid friendly at her house so I asked her to get a couple toys that can live there so I dont have to bring toys every time we go over...she said yeah yeah and thats shes ordered some stuff on amazon. Turns out what she ordered was just table corner protectors, no toys or anything. So I asked again and she said that our baby doesnt need toys, she will just find things about the house to occupy herself like the tv remote.
I get it but at the same time if I thought like that then my child would be playing with wires, keys, my phone, batteries ect and not baby friendly things at my home so it doesnt make sense to me? She needs age appropriate toys. I take her there at least once a week, sometimes more... so its a lot for me to take everythint all the time, I bring the baby, all her nappies, spare clothes ect plus toys, things for her to eat ect. All im asking for are a fee toys that live at their house.
I know I could leave my own toys there but she complained about me 'not letting her be grandma' when our daughter was first born because I wanted to recover at home for a week and when we did visit I wanted to hold my baby more than she expected. So now Im like.... you wanted to be grandma, im asking you to help me out as grandma and buy your granddaughter a couple of toys for your house and you wont do it?
Ive ended up leaving a walker and a couple toys there and a couple spoons and a bowl . She has the walker behind the sofa and doesn't get it out when we do go round or anything Ive left. So I feel like I have to still bring toys there.
My dad lives 2 hours away, we've gone to visit 3 times since our daughter was born and hes bought toys and a high chair for her and bowls and spoons for her and I didnt even ask him to.
So me asking grandma who lives 15 mins away to buy a couple toys to make things easier for me and she wont doesnt sit right with me at all? Am I wrong. I
And I do bring toys from our house to grandma's everytime we go but theyre toys my daughter likes the most that week so im not going to leave them there. I left a couple bits but what Im asking is for her to get some as well so lighten my load.
