[blparent] Carrying a baby while out and about

[Tammy, Paul and Colyn]

Hi,

Here they always ask me how it goes in, and they offer to do it for me.  But 
I would rather do it myself just because I know it will be done properly. 
The cabbies here are always very helpful in other ways though, and I can 
feel their sighs of relief when I tell them I already know how to put the 
seat in.

Tammy
