Following! I was considering the Evenflo carseat/stroller but l wonder what everyone else would recommend.

I know it's quite expensive but my little one is 4 weeks old and I can't believe how much I love my uppababy vista and Mesa V2 car seat. Absolutely worth the extra money in my opinion. We do 2 hour walks, grocery store runs putting all the food in the bottom, folds up so easily and the clicking in and out of everything is a dream

I love the Nuna Tavo and Pipa travel system. Very light and easy to use. However, it doesn't have the generous space at the bottom like the Uppababy.

Baby coming in July and I bought the Uppababy Cruz and Mesa V2. One friend has it and her baby is loving it.

I think we have the Maxi-Cosi Gia XP3 travel system. It’s pretty nice. I’ve always wanted a jogging stroller, they have better mobility especially on uneven ground (trails). But it’s probably not top tier for as far as jogging strollers really go. But it was a Xmas gift from husbands siblings and mom. It’s really nice, but I had to buy a “jolly jumper cupholder” to Velcro on to the inside of the handle!

Can’t believe how many stroller companies make you pay extra for them now! But other than that and the small basket size/elastic band kinda being in the way it’s a pretty great system!

yesss I saw that at Babies R Us along with a few others !

I have the cybex gazelle and love it!

It's expensive but I have a veer switchback (it is on sale right now), I like how it can work for two kids and unlike the uppababy vista, you can have the younger kid closer to you. It has great suspension and wheels, has been great in the winter and on uneven paths. The seat lies pretty flat and with the infant insert my baby spent one nap in it almost daily for several weeks since he loves stroller naps.
It is quite heavy and large, similar to the vista and barely fits in my small hatchback. We have a small travel stroller we use for travel.
I use a clek carseat with the veer
The veer seat also converts to a high chair and you can also get an attachment for your bicycle

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Car seat

No idea which car seat to get next. Please hit me with your recommendations, 1year+ (preferably rear facing or 360). Thank you 🫶🏻

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.
