Detachable car seats?

Hi, my son has outgrown his Cybex Cloud Z car seat so we're getting him the next one. It will be a 360 one but I can't see one that detaches (to bring him in when he naps!) is this tough luck or does anyone have a bigger one that can be removed from the base? The next Cybex one now seems to be an expensive from birth one so we're trying to avoid wasting money on this one! Thank you :)

I haven't heard of a next stage seat that detaches etc to be bought inside, plus it would be super heavy!
Also 360 seats are very big and bulky.
I'd recommend looking at extended rear facing seats, maybe join extended rear facing (erf) car seat safety on FB.
I think the only rotating seat that is Swedish plus tested (higher testing than our standard crash testing) is the joie i-spin safe.
BeSafe are bringing out a 22kg rotating seat called the BeSafe Beyond, but not till August

No unfortunately there aren’t any next stage seats that you can carry out of the car with the child in. You just have to sit in the car and be nap trapped I’m afraid 😭I’m shocked your son has only just grown out of his infant seat! My daughter grew out of hers around 9 months. But yes I agree with the above comment! Maybe join a car seat group on Facebook, they will give you the best recommendations for the best seat xx

Thanks ladies, I'll stop looking for something that doesn't exist 😂 secretly like a chill in the car anyway! The one he's in goes up to 24m and we've found the rotation so handy but I'll ask for ideas in the FB group as I do want him to stay rear facing, thank you x

Car seats aren’t based off age they are based off height and weight regardless of what the box says the ages are just a guideline. Depending on his centiles a 360 seat may not be good for you as it’s recommended to RF until 5 and 360 seats go to roughly 18/20kg which if over the 50th centile will be reached a lot sooner xx

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

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.

Car seat

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

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?
