Depends on what seat you currently have as to when she outgrows it. There should be a height /weight limit listed for it. In terms of what to get next it depends how long you want it to last, what size car you have and babies centile as ideally you want to rear face until at least 4.5 years so different seats may get maxed out if your little one is on the higher centiles.

I have a Joie spin 360 that I bought recently, I absolutely love it!

We use this one!! And for 140 it's amazing, does everything, 360 spin, goes up till 4

I bought one branded Osann. It's a 360 and does from 9kg up to 12 years (approx). We've only just moved her over to it at just over 8 months old and 20lbs

Like others have said, your infant car seat will have a height & weight limit, so double check that but if you think your LO will be comfier in a bigger seat, then go for it. Our LG hasn’t outgrown her Cybex infant seat yet but when we went away she was in a different seat and she looked so much more comfy. We’ve just bought the next seat in the Cybex range, which can actually be used from newborn, and she loves it! x

I moved my 8 month onto his next one about 2 months ago as his head kept flopping forward. I have the joie I spin safe

hi, which Cybex seat have you gone for now if you don’t mind me asking, I have got the cloud Z one at the min x

We have just fitted the I-spin 360 Joie into my car.. she still goes in her original car seat (the one you carry) as shes still got plenty of room left but i want her to start going in the larger one occasionally so she gets used to it. Just watch what you buy… this one tilts back nicely for sleeps.. but a few we checked dont lay back far enough and the babys head just falls forward 😑

Thankyou all for replying ! I’ll have a look into the car seats you’ve all suggested and see what’s best and I have Venicci car seat x

When she’s outgrown it by height or weight depending on the seat

no problem 😃 We also had the cloud Z, we’ve now got the Sirona T, which fits on the existing isofix base x

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide
