[blparent] feeding little ones

[PICKRELL, REBECCA M (TASC)]

I'd agree with this. Carseats are a bair to clean. If she wants to be low to the ground, why not use an umbrella stroller? The kid is required to sit up while in it and they are easy to clean. She could also put a booster seat on the ground.

Just a thought, but you can buy booster seats that attach to chairs with
straps.  Many of them have short legs as well, so you can set them on the
floor.  To me, this would be a better option than the carseat.  Easier to
clean, separating the feeding from the car seat, etc.  But a person could
still get down close to the baby if that was helpful.

As most of you know, I teach a Parenting series of courses at Hadley. In 
grading an assignment this morning from a low vision mom with a son who is 
about two, I wanted to share something she mentioned that might be helpful. 
The question was part of our Infancy course and focused on feeding a baby of

perhaps six months. She said she put her baby in his car seat so she could 
be close enough to him to see what she was doing. Maybe setting the car seat

on the floor and sitting or kneeling near it would be a good idea, but I'll 
defer to you younger moms as my sons are almost 28 and 25! Please let me 
know if this seems like a helpful tip.
