Can someone give me an opinion about Bugaboo Turtle Air by Nuna Car Seat ?

Hey 👋 my friend wants to sell me this car seat she bought from someone as second hand. Is there anyone here who had this car seat ? I’m going crazy reading reviews and such. And if you can recommend something better I would very much appreciate it! Thanks !

Personally I wouldn’t buy it. Not because of the seat itself as I don’t know anything about it but it sounds as tho it’s now at least a 3rd hand car seat and you don’t know it’s full history

There’s no way I’d buy a car seat without knowing the full history. I would only take one from a family member or a very close friend who I trusted with my child’s life. You might trust your friend, but you have no idea where it’s come from before that. If it has ever been in any kind of accident, or even if it has been incorrectly handled/cleaned with chemicals that could damage the integrity etc, anything like that could impact the safety of the seat. It’s also not a great brand anyway, even if new. What is your budget? There are plenty of good seats that you can get brand new that won’t break the bank, but I wouldn’t touch this if I were you

I wonder why the previous owner sold it. Apparently for my friend it can’t be installed in her car since she has an old Audi and it’s not compatible. She’s not a close friend but she thought of asking me before she puts it on Facebook marketplace.

many people do, can flog everything and anything on FB marketplace🤣 car seats and mattresses are things you should always buy brand new x

Nuna car seats are know for terrible chin to chest so personally I would avoid that brand

Not the best fit for a newborn, wouldn’t recommend really as it can put baby in a dangerous position until they’re a bit bigger!

I would check out 'car seat safety UK' on Facebook. They will give you good recommendations. If you are dead set on second hand then know your history and check the date on it as they al have expiry dates!

It looks like it’s an older model aswell as we had the bugaboo turtle air by Nuna and mine is no where near this shape and looked so much different so I’d check when it was made and how many years nuna recommend they’re used by. Also what does she mean it won’t go in her older Audi? We had a 2008 a3 and it went in fine? We had to belt it rather than isofix but it was still in securely

Friend had it and exchanged it fast, baby was so squashed in it.... I wouldn't get it

Geeez guys thank you so much for all of your responses❤️this is super helpful , I won’t be getting it, I’ll do further research for other seats Xxx

thanks so much. I’m not sure what’s the budget, we want to get a safe and comfortable seat but without going crazy 😵‍💫anything you could recommend? Thanks a million xxx

you’re the greatest ! Will join them, thank you so much Xx

I looked at this - they all had awful reviews about babies being scrunched up and their chins on their chests.

We have a Nuna Arra though which reclines in the car which was important to us as we drive between London and Manchester a lot. It’s overwhelming with all the choice but you’ll find the one that suits you eventually

I've finally done it

I have finally done it. I have finally become the trope, the stereotype.

I have become bitter, resentful, and very overwhelmed and overloaded. I am very unhappy and hit burnout. And I snapped at my husband last night. I work full-time, and work has been very busy so im working late a lot. Im also in grad school. I also have a toddler that has become VERY clingy with me. My husband works shorter days but commutes, so he usually gets home after me by an hour or more. When he gets home, he usually heads to the restroom for at least 30 mins when he gets home. And now my toddler doesnt want anything to do with him. So im doing all the toddler duties until bed. I dont get 5 mins to myself. Not for almost 2 years. I finally hit my wall. I have also, somehow, become my MILs medical ride service and she somehow has an appt every week, it seems?! Shes not sick!! My husband was complaining that he needs to change routine to fit in a workout sometimes, and I lost it. I have been BEGGING for 5 mins to myself for months. I have been telling him how im not good, im going to burn out for months. And between his attitude and him complaining (which really got me b/c he blames me for not being able to work out?! Saying I need help when he gets home so he just cant workout now) I just lost it completely. I told him how unfair my life has become and I have the entire mental and emotional load and it is just not fair. He got mad at me and said "hes trying" when hes literally not trying at all. What do I do?? No one is taking the load from me! And im done and dont know what to do now.
I do not like this version of me.

AITA?

This isn't a major issue, just wondering if I'm being a bit of an asshole.

• I do shift work, 5 out of 7 days, full-time.
• My partner works from home (mostly, sometimes he goes into the office) M-F, full-time.

Anyway, whenever I have a day off during the week he gets in his feelings when I make myself food (breakfast and lunch) but not him. His reason is he's working, I'm not - Which is fair but I've asked him how many times on a weekend has he gotten up, on his day off and made me breakfast and a lunch to take with me to work? You guessed it, 0.

So basically, just because I'm at home I don't think the responsibility to feed him should automatically fall on me when he manages to feed himself just fine while I'm at work.

Big vent!

Hi mums.
I'm a first time mum in my 40s to twin boys.They are almost 5 months old and the biggest miracle in my life!
I am struggling!!!
I'm pretty sure I have ppa as my pregnancy was a very high risk and all I remember was crying from anxiety of all the ifs!Thankfully even born at 35 weeks and skinny,didn't need iu time.
My husband is not helping much because he's always too busy with work.He will "look" after them usually between 8pm-12am so I can have a chance to sleep.
He expects me to just sleep when I touch the pillow,even though I hear tje babies crying and him don't really bother because most of the times he'll be on his laptop working.
When I tell him I can't relax to fall asleep because I feel you r neglecting the babies,he says I'm the problem becauae I'm always there with them and don't give them alone time!!
I am angry!!I am furious!!
I can't keep.up.with housework becauae someone alwaya neess me and most of the times they nap I either cook and clean tje kitchen,do laundry or try and take a quick nap.
He doesn't help.around the house,becauae..guess what?always super busy.
I asked him nicely we could clean the house together every Saturday morning so it's easier and quicker for both of us and he said no,because he has a lot of work but probably wants to sleep until 12 or 2.
2 days ago a button of his coat ripped and I told him I'll sew it these days.
Earlier this morning while running late for his work,as always,he weara the coat and told him didn't get the chance to fix the button and sarcastically said..of.course u didn't!!!
I spent all night awake because one of the babies had congested nose and we've been trying to reduce one fees at night.
I wanted to punch him!!He left and I started crying...I cry so much,even at 5 months pp...
I can't go on like this anymoreeeee...
The crying in my ears is constant..my head is always numb..I've gained so much weight and can't find the strength to get back on track..
Even if I try to.find a therapist to just talk,is it gonna help?I really don't know😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Avoidant husband

I love my husband and he is a good man. We have some issues in our relationship however, as he has an avoidant attachment style (finds romance/intimacy/being emotional difficult). This comes from him having to be independent from a young age and having quite an abusive mother.
The issues in our relationship are mainly around a lack of sex and intimacy. I think the problem is that to feel turned on, I need to feel connected and wanted. My husband (being avoidant) will usually make jokes about being horny whereas I would want to have someone make me feel beautiful/sexy to get in the mood.
It sounds terrible but I've sometimes had dreams about exes that would make me feel this way, and the romance we had (eye contact, intensity, deep words). It makes me feel really guilty but I feel like i'm starved of that. My husband would like a lot more sex but I can't always force myself if I'm not feeling it.
We've spoken a bit about therapy but I know its often really expensive so we probably wouldn't be able to afford it. Do you have any suggestions please? I know that neither of us are wrong in what we want, just different but I'm scared about whether we can fix it or if we're doomed?

BLW Advice!

Did anyone else baby have a hard time with textures when it pertains to solids. My son is 9 months and he still only eats the food that is mashed or puree. Do you think this is a phase? Or does anyone have any tips?

Toddler snacks in the morning ?

Hey.

My 14m is clearly going through a growth spurt. He’s a fussy eater but recently started having two breakfasts with the childminder and that’s even after milk in the morning.

He wakes at 6am and we leave around 7:05am. Has 6oz when he wakes but then is seemly hungry looking for snacks before we leave. The only issue is, he’s a fussy eater and won’t sit and eat fruit etc so struggling to think what I can give him that’s suitable.

Any fussy eater suitable ideas of what I can make or get him to snack on whilst we finish getting ready to get out the door?
