Car seats

Hello. I’m looking into getting a new car seats for when my little one grows out of his infant carrier.

I don’t have a lot of money but equally I want my baby to be safe. I don’t want to ask on any car seat groups as I know what they’ll say 🥺

I want one that can rear face for up to 4 years and then can be turned forward up to 12 years.

Has anyone heard of the enfasafe superia isize 360?

I can’t see much about it however noticed it has the R129 rating and rear faces up to 4 years. Just worried about the lack of knowledge on it.

Or if anyone’s really up on car seats can you have a look at it and see if it would be okay? I can’t afford anything more than £200.

Agree with Amy. The safest seats aren’t every stage ones, can be quite hard to get a decent fit and usually not 360°- and, depending on the size of your baby, a “birth to 12” seat may not actually last that long. Not judgemental, just things to know and consider.

R129 is just the new standard for car seat testing. The best for safety are Swedish plus tested seats, but typically these are ERF seats as forward facing seats just don’t pass the rigorous checks.

So you kinda have to pick your priority really. I don’t say that to be a dick, but you can get a safer seat for the money you have, or if longevity is more important then you are going to have to compromise on the safety testing.

As already said, the Britax max safe pro is currently on a huge sale, and within your budget. A very safe car seat, but not 360°/can’t forward face and won’t last until 12.
Many car seat retailers offer payment options too, if that’s something that would help.

Thanks all. I’m just wanting advice really as my car is only a small Ford KA with 3 doors so a 360 would be beneficial. I will have another look at other options. Appreciate the advice! Xx

totally agree! Mine is second hand. ❤️ I’m buying all the baby clothes and toys in charities or vinted. I have just bought a house and things are tight. However baby is happy, loved , fed and with a roof over her head. People judging is just that.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
