360 car seats - worth it or no?

I’m expecting my second in March (2u2). We have the Britax Graphene+ for our first, but am wondering if the 360 car seats (Joie for instance) are worth it or not? They are so expensive! But they seem convenient in theory…

Also wondering this! Would you just end up not turning it because it takes longer 🙈

I just got one (Maxi Cosi) for my 1-year-old. I love it, so much easier getting him in and out of the car. I also have a 3-year-old.

I’m mostly interested for the ease of putting the baby in and out of the car! But I don’t know if the price tag is worth that convenience. I can’t see ANY secondhand anywhere near me so I can’t tell if people just aren’t buying them often or love them so much they don’t want to let them go. 🤣

It doesn’t look like it would last as long age wise as some others.

Second baby - got the maxi cosi 360. Absolutely bloody love it so much. Totally worth it.

I have the Joie asset spin 360 and it’s a total game changer! My 13mo bub is not only a strong 97% percentile chunk but has also started sometimes resisting getting into the car (back arching, etc), so being able to swivel the seat makes it so much easier getting her in and out…. It’s also going to be super useful and save my back when she’s older and heavier.

In comparison, my older 3yr has a Maxi Cosi Pria (non-360) seat. It’s been annoying lifting and maneuvering her into her seat sideways while making sure she doesn’t bump her head on the roof, because she’s now taller and heavier. Every time I put her in I wish she had a 360 seat too! Lol

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

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.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

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
