[blparent] New Here With Questions

[janel]

Hello everyone:
Thanks for all of your wonderful advice.
As far as the car seat goes, I do have a graco car seat stroller combination 
and there are slides for the seatbelt.

As far as the bottles, I use avent and Playtex. The avent bottles leak if 
you are not careful to put them on correctly so I will probably purchase 
more Playtex bottles since they are easier when he starts day care.
Thanks again, and I look forward to learning tons more from you all.
Janel
