[blparent] Items you couldn't live without

No, because the harness Melissa describes is like what is on carseats,
though maybe Gab's carseat given her age was different?

Yeah, but with that type of harness it would be almost impossible to
take
them out for a nap elsewhere, right? V

My swing actually had a five point harness; it went over the baby's
shoulders as well as buckling between the legs.  If you decide to use a
swing I would definitely recommend looking for one with this type of
harness.  I can't imagine a baby being able to climb out of the swing as
easily with this type of harness, though of course little arms and legs
can
probably wiggle free of almost anything if they work at it long enough.

That goes for any toy they can climb out of.
